HMRC means "Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs"?

Happy Morons Ripping Clients.

Common sense and HMRC do not go hand in hand.

What your common sense says?
If you go on business you can expense the travel including the hotel.

So if I have a remote job, can I work a week from Barcelona and expense the hotel while working from there?

And don't forget to expense the hookers .. They come dozen a dime on the la Ramblas, so I heard.

So do pickpockets. Try expensing that.

At least I have the receipt for the meal where the QC reviewed our plan...
Whole trying to keep a straight face....

I invoiced our QC meal to your account.

While we would view Eek's scheme as unnecessarily open to challenge, we are flattered that he has tried to copy some of the key payment vehicle features, such as personal introductory fees and miscellaneous outgoings.

1% tax..... That's far more than our scheme expects you to pay.

Whether you actually see any of the money you pay in depends on when you join the scheme....

Sorry -"BBP"

Though I'm sure that with the first BBP you only paid 1% tax. I guess the QC who approved that scheme retired to Panama....

"Scheme" sounds so shabby. We now prefer the term "Beneficial Partnership Product" or BPP.

You lot are such a bunch of disguised permies.

Agreed.

I've expensed such claims before for a AGM. No problem.

Individual limited companies should never exist. Permies avoiding taxes wondering when hector is going to snare them. The stress.

Do it properly, hire a director in Barcelona. All the big companies do it.

[Old Greg]

Haven't you heard of the schemes OG helps promotes?

Do a search.

OK, I'll bite...
So are you saying that as a contractor, you can put your family holidays through the company as a legitimate business expense?
Because that is what the OP is trying to do.

I don't think you are aware of exactly how the Oude Joris Max 120 (pocket the VAT and run) and the Oude Juan 125 (pocket the VAT and screw your former friends) schemes work...

You think we are jesting but I've seen schemes that "work" using both techniques...

[Pondlife]

You lot are such a bunch of disguised permies. The OP is RUNNING A BUSINESS, so this is perfectly acceptable. If the OP's accountant disagrees then i would respectfully introduce the Oude Joris Max 120 service, advantageously domiciled in the Dutch Antilles.

I'll be heading to Bonaire in Sept if you'd like me to pick up your post. You know you can trust me not to rifle through the filing cabinets.
