    I got it done in asda once, it was some shifty looking bloke in a grubby side-office, he looked like he was bricking it and watched me with terrified eyes afterwards to see if I would keel over.

    I was okay but I never want to experience that again
    I had it done in boots. Lovely welsh girl (in england). Well nice she was too .

    There's no argument to be had - flu jabs are specifically referenced by HMRC as being allowed.

    Boots. £12 now I think - was £10.
    Book appt online - do lunchtime. Take 5 mins but you're supposed to hang around for 10-15 afterwards (just so they know you aint keeled over on street outside!).

    When saving money, I like to think whether the saving is now, accrued over time or a saving to the business - if you saw the money on the street, would you pick it up? If yes, then take the saving. £3 now is the same as £3 in a year or £3 to your ltd.

    I recommend getting it at the Bardoc walk in centre in Bury. Hope that helps.

    Where ever you go give me a shout and I'll come and give you a lift there as well so as not to inconvenience you

    Well, that's a blinkered attitude.

    The reality of our types of business is that we don't have lots of high value expenses, the vast majority are small, but they add up so those of us with sense capture the reasonable and allowable ones.

    In the last couple of months my expenses have been in 4 figures per month with a high percentage in the sub £20 bracket.

    That sort of thinkings ends up with you complaining in HMRC Scheme Enquiries

    I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I gave some monents ago:

    Reducing your tax bill is ALWAYS worth it, if you can do so via legitimate means. If you want to pay more tax, then great - you do that. However, by doing so you somewhat reduce the credibility of any subsequent "I pay too much tax" argument.
