limited company / IR35 etc

OK guys - esp for the accountants around here.
Checking out Simon's spreadsheet - the free download one, if you are within IR35, accountants fees are not a deductible expense - correct? Neither is postage etc.
Is this correct? I see various lists out there, many of which seem to allow postage, accountants fees etc, and comments earlier on this thread saying they were claimable, but I cannot find them as allowable on the HMRC site. I am also assuming that setup costs cannot be claimed back - ie company formation.

Also - one for Simon - how do I feed charitable giving - either from payroll or direct from the company into your spreadsheet. Both are allowable as far as I can see under IR35.

Correct - accountancy fees, postage, stationery, training etc etc not allowed when calculating the deemed salary. They are allowed for calculation Corporation Tax.

In terms of charitable donations, you would not be able to claim these against the deemed salary either. Instead you will claim the tax relief through making a claim on your personal tax return.

I recommend that you send your contract to filetravel, they will advise you whether you are caught by IR35. Their service is much better than SJD.

Hey Simon, why don't you sue this fool for defamation? Can you do that as a company?

Yes, we can.

I am going to be asking CUK for the IP address, although I know which of our competitors it is, so is just a matter of proving it.

Happy To Help.

Anyway - Simon checked both the contracts I have had, and gave the correct answers! At a significantly lower cost than a umbrella with dodgy dispensations! I think £6 for lunch is the highest I've seen - apart from P4!

Thanks Simon

Looks like he may have given himself away in this thread!
