Reduce your CT bill by filing your expenses when working away from home (this is every day if your home is your office and you need to attend site as part of your contractual obligations). Fuel / Train travel, Subsistence all counts. If you can claim travel, you can claim subsistence in most cases. Check the 24 month rule if it's relevant to you.
When you invoice a customer they have to pay you - this means they have a record of that payment. If they were investigated by HMRC they would then see this. If you were also investigated at the same time, they could look at the two businesses jointly.Comment
