Thanks everybody. It was a lot of wonga so I'm going to chance putting it on expenses....see if it can slip under the radar. Good or bad idea?

Mods, are you sure I can't call him that name again even after this post?

Moronic idea.

If you believe on the balance of probabilities that it is claimable (I find it hard) then claim it. You get the downside, which is unlikely to be particularly severe.

if I were your accountant I might feel the need to report on it were it obvious from the papers provided that it has happened. It may be a reportable event under money laundering regs, if so the report just happens quietly in the background.

If you are going to be a bit creative in what you put through it may be a better strategy just to do it rather than involving your accountants since their professional standards do require certain actions. Of course whether they actually do that or not is a different matter.
