Flu jab

[mudskipper]

Accountant says yes.

[TheFaQQer]

Is 6 quid really worth it?

Keeping putting through 'trivial' expenses and see how closely the taxman will look at the rest of your accounts if there is any investigation.

Each to their own though.

HMRC have explicitly said that you can do this. So why would you not do it?

My question wasn't whether or not it was worth putting it through, but whether it was allowed.

£6 is better in my pocket than the tax man's.

Ah, so its wholly and exclusively for the business then?

TBH, why bother with such a piddling amount, is your profit margin [bthat[/b] small?

No, it's not wholly and exclusively for the business. It is, however, specifically mentioned by HMRC as a trivial benefit which does not attract a benefit in kind charge. I don't see how people can get it wrong, to be honest.

Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves. Why would you give the tax man more than you have to?

[BolshieBastard]

Had a flu jab today.

Something's vaguely ringing a bell that this can be put through as a business expense.

Is that right?


Oops - meant to post in accountancy!

You have to pay for your flu jabs? They're free in Scotland

[FatLazyContractor]

Come to Yorkshire, only £9 and I got an extra discount on top too!

I put this in the more hassle than its worth expense category, if it means I get an extra billable day out of it its more than worth while!

Get diabetes (or any decent quality illness / impairment) and you get it for free

Surgery rang me yesterday to say that if I wanted one, just to make an appointment to go get one. Don't think I can be bothered, though.
