Since it was all kosher, there was problem... lucky for me.

yeah I'm starting to wish I'd done that now!

What happenned with yours? Did you get stung with a massive bill? I'm expecting a bit of a fine like.

They grumbled a bit coz I had expenses for a different year in there too...

Decided eventually that I owed about £26.

And about 3 weeks later decided that I owed 43p.

And that was the end of it.

I provided photocopies of card bills for hotels, hotel receipts, odometer readings from two different cars (with expenses claimed at the two different rates current at that time), photocopies of the expenses claim forms I sent to the accountant, and photocopies of the receipts.

Etc.

Took a week to do it all. Fortunately I was between gigs so that didn't matter a lot.

Simpler than that - underpaid tax. I had a Ltd then and my accountant was a spaz. To be fair I'm not much good with money. I can earn it but then I spend it. Still when I'm on my death bed there'll be lots of good memories

Unlike Milan who advocates working yourself into an early grave so you can earn it and then cark it before you can enjoy a penny of it.

Ooooh - that would sting!!!!

What had you done like? Claimed for loads of stuff you hadn't?

I think I've "rounded up" a fair few times with my receipts like, which is my own stupid fault!

Now that's style.

Careful, AtW is obsessively tracking everyone's IP address and the tax evasion "shop a cheat" helpline is only a phone call away.

That hurt.

Course, I'm being audited by the tax man at the minute - for Travel and Subsistance, and also it lokos like for IR35.


He took al my info, receipts, bank statements, blood, etc about 7 months ago
