xmas party question

[Support Monkey]

Why take the piss when it is such a petty amount of money when I am sure there will be other times of the year you can apply this correctly? If you are going to apply the 'who would know' attitude why not attempt to completely falsify all your accounts?

At the end of the day you are actually paying most of this out of your pocket anyway so doen't make sense to just spend it because you can claim tax.

Come on we need to apply a bit of common sense here, i know the tax man can be a bit A*al but does anyone realy think that the tax office are going to sit sifting through every receipt for a curry they get to see if it was 1 or 21.

yes off cause if your accounts are not in order or your trying to con the tax man you deserve everthing you get, Taking the Piss is sitting worrying about the tax office launching a full blown investigation over one christmas party receipt

Provided it is a regular event it would fall inside the rules. It is arguably taking the piss because the poster didn't realise it was inside the rules and got creative with it.

The taking the piss is my opinion and when Support Monkey talks about common sense, to me it is common sense to find an even that closer matches the requirements and use that. You can claim and you are are correctly entitled to so that is a matter of opinion.

I don't see how using the tab from a night out with 5 mates constitutes falling in to the rules of a £150 per employee and partner.

It doesn't, but those aren't the rules it needs to meet. Guests can be anybody and any number as covered in the links I posted.
