Someone one another thread looking for advice on buying a digital camera ..... and wondering if they can expense it.

Geez, no wonder the Revenue get suspicious sometimes. That's theft.

No it's not.

It's someone asking if they can expense it.



BTW, my digital camera went through the books. It was bought specifically for web site image gathering.

Pethidine - I had loads of that when my appendix burst. Quite good fun actually.

And my spelling is the first thing to suffer.

Fun up, not fun coming down, I shake FSR.

It isn't my fault really.

It's boring to go on and on about illness I know... went to A&E at 5am because I coughed so hard I've torn a muscle and had a massive scary looking bruise and didn't know what it was. I was in so much pain they gave me pethadine and the come down from that is horrible so I've just put some Chombard into my pineapple juice...

And now I feel as though I am completely out of my tree

Surely it is clear? If your Co needs a camera, and buys one, it is an allowable expense. And the camera belongs to the company, not to you.

If you are allowed by Your Co to use its camera for personal use, that is a benefit in kind, and should be taxable.

If you need a camera, go and buy one with your own money.


Surely all this is clear morally? No???

Ah, but moral clarity in such matters might seem a wee bit overzealous if you find yourself surviving on economy brand dogfood in your retirement

There's no place for morals on this site. No sir!

I dunno, lots of companies have a digital camera in the office now, and if you are doing freelance design work/web development I could easily see a case for the company owning a digital camera.

Your words... English, yes?

But what language is the ******* sentence written in?

1 missing word: "on". Someone on another thread.
