expenses claim - car parking fine?

Can you buggery. What are you? A politician or something?

You can claim something that that is solely and wholy incurred as part of doing your business. Being daft enough to leave your car somewhere were is shouldn't has nothing to do with business.

You will probably try and argue you were on company business but the fine is for you being a twonk not a cost to helping your business make money.

Some companies allow it for their service engineers, if they're dealing with an emergency.

Yeah I have heard about this before but if a company allows this as a working policy as part of thel line of business and whether you can claim it back against your tax are two completely different things.

I was able to claim one. Said meeting ran over allocated time, and couldn't be unprof. and leave during meeting to top up meter.

When you say 'able to' - this was audited and passed by HMRC was it?

There's a world of difference between 'getting away with' and it actually being a valid business expense.

True. It may well be a non-tax deductable expense for the company.

Fines are non deductible. Period.

That doesn't mean you can't them as anepense though of course, just that the co can't include them in it's CT calculation.

I put one through once, I was told it could be expensed but that it wouldn't be tax deductible.

Think that is right.
