Originally posted by TheCyclingProgrammer View PostI don't think a dispensation gurantees you do not need receipts. It would mean not having to report on a P11D and claim in self assessment, so greatly reduces the chance of it being challenged, but HMRC could still challenge if they found out and ask for receipts I think.
If you get a scale rate agreed, then I don't think you need to keep the receipts.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostExactly what I was thinking. Maybe it's a shop you are only paying a couple of quid for something. If so is it really worth the hassle of claiming. It's not like claiming it through the company makes it free.
I'll confess to putting a £2 claim in last month, but I couldn't be bothered to actually pay the money out to me, as I had nothing else owing and it seemed a hassle to log into internet banking just to get my £2 back.

Even small independent shops give receipts if you ask them.
They are aware that some people can expense things through their business/employer and want customers like this.
Another place used to just grab a scrap of paper, stamp their name on it and write the price on it.
I've never been told that they can't provide a receipt.

I would ask them to write one by hand, but then I can be a bit of a g1t.

Originally posted by maxedvolume View PostI have FRS - so no need for VAT receipts. Thanks for that.
Statement from my business bank credit card sufficient then? I mean, if the statement entry says, Pret 2.40 during Mon-Fri during my contract, surely I won't need to keep extra paper receipt to prove my purchase. It's already on the statement that I purchased.

You are presumably getting receipts for your card payment so you can keep these too even though they won't say what you bought, they will have the retailer name on.

Originally posted by vwdan View PostSorry, no FRS. I'll have a look.
I suggest if you don't have one get one asap as for most contractors it's advantageous to be on the flat rate scheme. They will also answer the questions you are asking on here.
