Yeah, good point.

As I thought.....

Not an HMRC rule....

I'll speak to my nice shiny new accountant in a few weeks.

I would imagine that their dispensation says that they need to see receipts for claims over 60 days old.

Some companies have a policy which says that expenses over 60 days old will not be paid, so that they can process them quicker, so it may be that too.

I think it's this one:

Just fill in the form, send it to the tax office and you are done. Giant should do it for you though, nice to see that the money you are paying them is being put to good use.....

Expenses - GIANT say no.....

Hi,

I'm confused.....

I'm currently working away, staying at a B&B - need to claim my expenses but GIANT say I can only claim the last 60 days and their online system wont let me put in any dates earlier than 6th Jan? - I have expenses going back to mid October 2007.

The expenses are all for business - B&B, car travel, train etc.... £250 per week.

They are all in this tax year....

I rang them - they just say it's HMRC dispensation rules....

Question is....How can I get my money?

Self assessment?

Yes - I've set up a limited company for April!!

Cheers!

Tony
