They provide them to all workers the same way they do laptops/desktops then? Do you get to keep it with you 24/7? Nice perk if so.

And it's hard to find a use case where you are required to have an Apple iPad rather than a generic PC.
I think for the majority of us, the majority of usage would not be at work - a couple of meetings a week Vs messing about with it at home and on the train.
But regardless this isn't my concern - my usage is developing tablet apps and this requires an iPad specifically as I've established this is the tablet brand my potential customers want, so I don't have a choice to go Android.

E.g. if you are required to use an iPad to take notes in a meeting (perhaps because there is a corporate requirement to have the minutes in a particular format) then the fact that the meetings only occupy 5 minutes of the week and you spend all of your non-working hours watching DVDs on the iPad does not alter the fact that your personal use is incidental.

Doesn't mean it can't be valid, but I doubt it is in most cases.

At the end of the day I guess it doesn't matter as long as you can convince HMRC and at these costs they won't really give a damn, I just hate it when people try and justify it when there isn't any.
I don't have one (at the mo) cos I can't see me using it at home, nevermind work.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThanks AtW (and others), very helpful. I'm not FRS so 20% back reduces the price from £329 to £274 which is pretty good value... then my CT is reduced too.
This is for a real business case (specific plan B software project), not merely to have a tablet to use at work (which I reckon is a bit dodgy, HMRC aren't mugs). In terms of business customers, many who are in California, iPad is the only sane choice (at least until we see how Windows8 tablets pan out).

Tablet
Originally posted by d000hg View PostI'm considering getting an iPad2 for my Plan B now the price dropped after iPad3 was announced. But from neither the main or business Apple store can I see VAT be listed, or a non-VAT price listed... I just see £329 for the 16Gb WiFi.
Do tablets attract a regular 20% VAT like PCs? Does Apple Store provide a proper VAT receipt or do I need to find it somewhere else?
