Claiming a laptop as an expense

[tractor]

..

Most here have. I have.

And if you're on FRS, provided that the invoice is over £2k, you can claim VAT on the purchase as well. (Which is why I have a lovely MBP with Enterprise Architect on it...)

We can't really make it clearer than that.

Most Many do...

(with added Crossover, in case anyone was wondering how...)

Yes, but my conscience is clear even though they ignore my pleas to do it properly as I send each invoice

Thanks for help. Bit mixed those replies though. Has anyone who has done this before got a definite answer?

As others have said, it's a fairly standard thing to claim. Read EIM21613.htm. In particular, consider if the example of the "Utility Engineer" applies to you.


Remember that you don't get the full cost back, it's just a deduction against your taxable profits so think of it as being a 20% discount (or more if it's over £2k you can reclaim the VAT too) rather than being "free" or paid for by the tax man...
