Unless you are being deliberately stupid then how is a HMRC inspector going to know?
I talked to a VAT inspector about some of my expenses and I was told I should have claimed them through my company as they were legit business expenses for that particular contract. So claiming a sat nav with or without specific features when you are doing a lot of driving to clients can be a legit claim.
However she did state that trying to claim your kids' Christmas presents isn't going to wash with any HMRC inspector.
This means buying a tablet when it has many legitimate business uses for a Computing Professional including just surfing the web will be ignored, but buying a 50 inch 3D TV will be looked at closely if your books get inspected.
