Working in Paris

Originally posted by AdamskiThanks all. This is going to be harder than I thought. Can anyone suggest a good accountant? I'm looking at all the posts about expenses etc and a bit over my head to be honest, but sounds like the simplest thing would be to charge a daily rate that would cover my accommodation and flights back to the UK every week and living expenses. Although that would mean I would pay Income tax on that and that hardly seems fair!
1) Charged my fee.
2) Agreed with client 200 gbp pw flights, 300 gbp accomodation.
3) Kept as many receipts as I could, Train tickets the works.
I itemised 2 on the invoices. I submitted expense claims to myco which mirrored 2 and paid them to me. Our accountants (not unreasonably) had a bit of a head fit.
When investigated I did expect some bother from HMIT about the expenses. They checked some of the cliams, compared them to what receipts were attached etc. Ultimately they charged me a 1000 bik and called it even.
This strategy may not suit those of a cautious disposition.
