Some people just ask for it.

Maybe, doens't mean everyone has to pile on and kick a man when he is down

Fair enough, but I guess you don't stay away with work? It just seems a complete no brainer to maximise my takehome by taking a non-aggressive stance with expenses. I currently average about £11 per day on-site to cover breakfast, lunch and the odd drink.

Given that your average hotel breakfast is £8 - £10 alone, I don't feel I'm taking the piss, but at the same time I'm definitely not willing to swallow an extra couple of grand a year out of my personal tax allowance for no good reason.

I think you need to read what I said again:

Travel is a given (I would prefer to work from home). Lunch and coffee are not expensed as I would pay for them regardless...

So if I'm travelling and staying in a hotel as that's the only option I would claim for breakfast. Lunch and coffee however...

So all that for £440 a year? (going on a 200 day year)

Do you have the same dilemma when you take a day off and lost a days billing?

Uhm, there's over 300 of VAT in there before you even start. So closer to 700 quid saving plus not having to declare 2k of dividends.

Plus evening meals

But why not lunch?

He's never up.

Because as a permie I bought lunch from Greggs/Morrisons and as a contractor I buy lunch from Greggs/ Morrisons / Tesco.

Why do you not operate through an Umbrella then and pay the same tax as a permie?

Well he never listened to the advice earlier so it probably makes little difference.

Gosh.

What use would the assembled congregation think that this might be for?
