I know when I used to do it, 7 day was a little bit cheaper than daily, montly was tons cheaper, 3 monthly was 3x monhtly so pointless, and yearly was just a little cheaper again.
In fact, doing the month+x trick it was cheaper than a yearly.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Originally posted by skysies View PostMy accountant told me that I can't really expense the monthly ticket, as this could also be used for personal purposes. Pro-rata won't work as well. That all came as a nasty surprise to me...
I'm commuting daily to my work, so I thought this is a legit business expense, and it's not small at all, around £250 per month.
Any feedback on that really appreciated.
Working for big consultancies as permie, quite normal to be contractually based at home and expense a monthly train pass to where you happen to be working, which is often london, and HMRC never question it. Shouldnt be any different for any company.Comment
