Brookson's portal adds up expenses incorrectly
Happy to follow my accountants instructions about claiming mileage but if I shouldn't be entering fractional miles then they shouldn't be accepting them. Like I've said before the 'fraudulent' penny gets rolled over into the next set of expenses anyway by the portal, which agrees with... -

Brookson's portal adds up expenses incorrectly
I don't really care for reporting each journey incorrectly in order to get the system to work happily. 10.1 is from Google maps. At this point I don't mind what number it spits out at the end. 9.09 or 9.10 as long as elsewhere it isn't disagreeing with itself about what should have been paid... -

Brookson's portal adds up expenses incorrectly
10.1 miles at 45p a mile is £4.55 Do that twice and it prints out £9.09 I understand its doing 4.545 x2 based on your comments. So not floating point. That said, when you pay yourself £9.09, elsewhere on the portal it lists expenses owing as 1p. So when reconciling with the bank account... -

Brookson's portal adds up expenses incorrectly
My point is that it lists the figures itemised by mileage with an associated whole number cost, then adds them together and gets a lesser figure. The numbers used are an example only, but I do input fractional miles. I'll try it out with more readily divisible numbers and see if that makes a... -

For illustration the display says: Mileage 1: x miles £20.01 Mileage 2: y miles £10.01 Total: £30.01 Seemed wrong to me. -

Have you ever used a Substitute - how do you go about this?
If a client has engaged multiple contractors, is there anything stopping the contractors from substituting each other to both "escape" IR35? I suppose it would depend on the contracts, so contracts allowing, would it work if the client was on board?- Shiny

Brookson's portal adds up expenses incorrectly
It's not a VAT calculation, this is adding up expense totals. If I input mileage for a month then 50% of the time those numbers won't add up the same as if I used a calculator. It is just a penny but you want your accountants to be spot-on, not getting the easy stuff wrong. While I could work... -

Brookson's portal adds up expenses incorrectly
I've noticed that sometimes when adding expenses, the total is off by a penny. Those with a background in computers will recognise it's probably a floating point error. Poor form, really. I've gotten myself a freeagent subscription and will be using the totals it comes up with instead...
