Mileage claims

[expat]

Thanks SE, but she receives salary and proportionate levels of divs, so, to my thinking, she should be able to claim it, as I do.

Do you actually know why it is that you yourself are able to claim mileage? If you know that, then you know whether she can claim it, and why. If you don't know that, then you need an accountant (™)NLUK

I have received an answer on this already, so why bother to log-in and make a poor attempt at a smart-ass response? Oh, I understand now, it was just to appear clever...

As pointed out, my accountant (yes, I do have one) does not work on Saturdays; maybe yours does? Well done you!

Yes, I do know why I can claim, but was uncertain on the point in question as I've never thought to claim it previously.

For some weird reason, I thought this forum (Accounting/Legal) was the right place to ask a genuine question; I didn't realise you had to know all the answers, never actually post anything, & that the forum only existed to flame anyone who dared post a query...or is this just your perception of why it exists?

Maybe you should just lock yourself in General if you prefer a kindergarten environment?

Sigh.
1. You're the one throwing the heavy sarcasm around, at length. Touchy.
2. I did intend not only to answer but to make you think so that you can answer for yourself in future. I do believe that it is a good principle to understand why you are doing something. In that respect, I was giving you something that the earlier posters had not.
Or trying to give you something.

Please be aware of the rules of the Professional forums.

Calling people rude names is frowned upon. Telling people to see their accountants because they didn't have the full context of the question isn't.

Does your accountant work on Saturdays? Thought not...tit.

Mine does - she replied on Saturday afternoon
