... if I date in teh evenings, I only claim half of the bill.

Presumably, that's because you only pay half the bill.

Anyway - here's something else you could claim for. Remedial English spelling and grammar courses.

To be honest, I've had such tulip advice on the topics I post here, I might as well have asked my 6 year old nephew ;-)

Sorry, but we are unaccustomed to giving advice on pimples/acne and other puberty issues.

Oh good one less newbie posting questions that have been answered again and again and again and ....

Sounds like you were doing that already.

Not if you just fudge it ;-)

I think a lot of the people who were willing to advise you on this board will no longer be..........

In that case, why stop at 80p a mile?

Why not claim £80 a mile?? Or go and sign on and claim benefits at the same time as working? Maybe a spot of mugging on the side?

Every little helps.

It's only "fair"

That will increase your tax bill straight away.

Anything above the HMRC set level (currently 40p for the first 10,000 miles) is a BIK.

Ummmm, yes, I have recently claimed an CD tv. I actually find it useful as a monitor for the PC so it has a double benefit, but obviously I'd only mention the business use of it as a monitor to HMRC.

I claim the rent where I live as it's away from home, but only claim meals out in the evenings, not the weekly shop fi I cook at home and if I date in teh evenings, I only claim half of the bill.

I also claimed the cost of decorating the home office already thanks along with just the essentials - table, chair and printer. I don't claim any bills for my main house though which maybe I am missing out on.

There's laods of little things like the Tom, Tom, part fo teh cars major service recently as the 80p per mile fuel I claim doesn't really cover such things, but these are fdairly minor. I'm looking for large items that you guys claim.

I always say that if I'm paying tax, I aint claiming enough expenses :-)

You could try claiming for:

Artwork to hang in your company office.
An LCD TV.
Your weekly shop provided that you are staying away from home.
Decorating your spare bedroom / home office.
Furniture.
And don't forget a ride-on mower for your company.

"I want the truth"
"You can't handle the truth"

HMRC- "Mr Faqqer your voice sounds remarkably like Jack Nicholson"

HMRC release podcasts - how am I meant to listen to their valuable advice without an MP3 player?

[Ruprect]

I claimed my last MP3 player.

I use it to record the contentious meetings on projects, so that I have an accurate record of who said exactly what. There are a few good ones recorded from this project if HMRC come calling.
