You guys really make me laugh. LOL

That is very nice to hear. Glad your knickers are in our reach

Okay, back to business, firstly I don't understand those numbers for.

What else do you need a man for?!

Secondly is Fitbit is a better choice in the market right now? I saw some good deal on Jawbone UP24 Activity Tracker for only £45. Is it worthy going for? Cheers again.

A user called MarillionFan exercises using those gadgets regularly. I think you are better off sending him a PM. Infact he wears a shagbit before going to bed every night.

No. IIRC You need to sell it to YourCo at full purchase price so you can claim the VAT back (assuming you have the receipt)

Can I claim my expenses through expenses

I spend a lot of awful time thinking about the possibility of claiming expenses.
Can I claim on this as a justifiable waste of someones time ??

So I bought this laptop a year ago and now I've been using it for my contract work, such as book keeping, produce financial statement, job search, contacting agencies and more. Is it possible to claim the laptop at is net book value after taking 25% depreciation rate on the original price? Many thanks.

Depends.

Do you use the laptop at home to browse porn? If you do, then you cannot claim.

HTH

Unless browsing porn at home is your job.

I expensed a laptop (and reclaimed the VAT) I bought a couple of months before I created the company, which my accountant said was okay. Maybe a year is stretching it a bit.

My memory (from 1994) is that there's no time limit specified in The VAT Guide. Only stipulation was you had to reimburse the full purchase price of the PC. I'd check the VAT Guide but ICBA.

Can I claim my toilet breaks as expenses?

How much can I invoice for?
