And in case you hadn't noticed, there are a few on here, who have all clarified what I already knew to be correct...

Ask YOUR accountant, you slack-jawed gurning moron

LOL, how did i know that was coming...
But at least you have the courtesy to reply, unlike certain others in this thread who, true to character, once their obvious mistakes have been pointed out, seem to go silent... until that is they see the next post of mine they can misread and insult me about!!

Thankyou.. It started as a sensible question that could have resulted in a sensible debate had people bothered to read before throwing insults.
All too common occurrence on this forum unfortunately, which is a shame considering all contractors i have the pleasure to know in person arent like this...

No worries, was just a pub conversation last night with an old contractor mate, so wondered if anyone else on here had heard similar from their accountants??
My mate gets the same train to London with me sometimes, and his accountant has told him to walk to the station!!

I'd tell your mate to find a new accountant.

I was with a contractor discussing expenses and he stated that he didn't claim for any expenses or mileage as he didn't want HMRC to notice him.

So it's horses for courses.

No it's an example of you thinking you're in the right, repeating yourself over and over, when people keep repeating the obvious thing you are too daft to understand.

ANY question about accountancy where the answer to "have you recently checked with your accountant" is NO, you are automatically in the wrong. No matter how many times you repeat the question.

Oh dear, another troll who didnt bother to read the thread before attacking...

Asking my accountant (who already allows me to claim taxis as an expense), if he thinks its ok to claim taxis as an expense, seems like a bit of pointeless question as we all know what his response would be dont we...??

One more time for the people who cant be bothered to read, the question was not "Can i claim for taxis", the question was "any thoughts on why my mates accoutant might say that HMRC dont like taxis!!!"

How many more trolls will this thread attract before people learn to read...
