It's pretty definitive - if you plan to get device for your personal use then don't do it through the company, but if it's 100% for business use then get it.

I guess that's my point. How can any such thing, a tablet, a pc, an iPad ever be 100% for business use? Even at work I stop at lunch & check BBC news & other sites. Does that mean my pc at work is not 100% solely for my job?

No, but that probably means your employer can fire you on a spot for gross misconduct thereby solving problem of business asset not being used 100% for business.

I'm sorry but that's absolute bulls***. Every single contractor I know in 10+ years of contracting has surfed the net at least during lunch breaks. Are you seriously saying every one of them should have been sacked for gross misconduct?

Hmmm, well, I got a couple of genuine answers before another thread descended into the usual side splitting jokes.

You want serious answers, ask in the serious sub-fora

Buy it using the company account. Use it. Argue it with HMRC if they come calling.

I have an Android tablet, and an argument prepared if need be.

Just be glad ATW isn't your client.

His company's internet policy is that you can't look at any website unless it's work related. Shame people could easily point out to him News including technology news sites are work related.
