Sainsbury's did it for £10. If you are that bothered about claiming an extra £10 from your business just increase your mileage by 22 miles. It's not like the taxman is going to notice such a small difference.Comment

If that's the thinking, why stop at £10?Comment

If you could steal a car stereo and sell it for £10, or claim for the flu jab, which would you choose?Comment

I'm not saying do it, I am merely pointing to the reality that whichever you do will result in the same thing and it's not really worth it for a tenner.
I pay tax because I have to not because I want to, the MPs who set the laws make laws which suite them and the super rich get away with paying almost zero tax because of endless tax loop holes while the one who claims an extra tenner of mileage is thieving. Give me a breakComment

The choice is simple - you can claim something legitimately (eg. a flu jab when you get one) or you can commit fraud (eg. making up mileage that you didn't do because HMRC aren't "going to notice such a small difference"). You seem to favour the illegal route rather than the legal one, which is (of course) your prerogative.Comment

One is about breaking the law, the other is about taking advantage of poor legislation.
Two wrongs a right do not make!Comment

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostI'm saying that somebody who is that bothered about a tenner would find it easier to do the latter and still get away with it. I am suggesting that there is no point in doing either.Comment
