Contractors claiming for allowance

[NotAllThere]

If you don't have the receipts, for whatever reason, then a measure of damage limitation is to record what the expense was and when and where it was incurred.

Of course, you could be making it up. But then, making up receipts isn't that hard.

hahaha,

iam a black belt dan 3, you dont get many of us overweight.

but since your name relates to food, maybe you have a similar agreement if you take a bus?

(They don't have something for incorrect terminology)
3rd Dan , Sandan or if you like Chuck Norris Films, 3rd Degree Black Belt

i don't really understand either - are you claiming 26 a day every day, and keeping the odd receipts around in case you get audited, or are you actually working out what you spend each individual day (which averages around 26 a day) and claiming that (and losing the odd receipt here and there).

because it sure sounds like the former, in which case it is fraud. if you're comfortable with that (which i'm not) there are much better strategies that would net you far more than you'd get from claiming any amount of dodgy expenses.

like false insurance claims or claiming false benifits...

lol well i wasn't talking about that, but there are plenty of offshore schemes that I would suggest have less risk of being caught by HMRC. they also involve an element of tax evasion (though the people running these schemes try to make it look otherwise), and the retained income is usually around the 75-85% mark depending on how you 'structure' it.

me, i run a limited company (rather badly though, check out my other newbie posts ). the returns are almost as good if you're outside IR35 and it's completely legitimate. and there's no extra intermediary to make a mess of things or try to rip you off.

Coming from you, this is a compliment. Thank You.


This proves that infact, you're an idiot, and a big one too.


This proves that not only you're an idiot, but your "accountant" is an idiot too.


You should watch Jamie at Home. Maybe you can learn a thing or two.



i guess what you lack upstairs only proves that you may have been kicked in the head a few times.

You muppet thats the whole point, i can claim without a receipt, dont mean i aint got one. and your editing is so crap, taking words and trying to be clever. This guy is a total arsehole. Please stop trying to be clever dude its boring.

Perhaps once and for all you'll answer the questions, which were raised in response to your message on this thread.

1. Do you claim £26.00 per day, every day for subsistance ?
2. If you do cliam £26 per day, how much of that can you back up with an actual reciept ?

It's important that you answer this, as the information you gave in your original post was either inaccurate, misleading or just didn't have enough detail to explain to the original guy who asked a valid question.

Thanks

as I said though, you came onto this thread giving advise to somebody which most of us think is incorrect or you just didn't explain yourslef very well.

If you want to get shafted by HMRC, thats fine, [ I don't guve a toss ] but don't pass on your incorrect information to somebody else and encourage them to commit fraud in the same way as you seem to be.
