Reply to: Sent money to wife overseas...can claim as expenses?

2k? Let me see; that's one posh handbag, two pairs of shoes and a bottle of perfume.

You'll need to spend more than that if you want her to go down more than once a year.

You must have a really nasty penis.

My wife is of French nationality, I have sent her around 2k this year, thru a wire transfer

Where do I stand with expenses?

Cheers

You're fine as long as you fill her up twice a week and make sure she's regularly serviced.

You have clearly never had a "wife".

It's a bloody tax!

[shaunbhoy]

OK, on the off chance you are not a sockie - you stand nowhere with expenses - it is not an expense

You have clearly never had a "wife".

[MarillionFan]

Feck it. Why not?

Just put 'Fecking large super computer' on the balance transfer and create an invoice for a French company.

You may as well claim some of the VAT back as well.

You mean lovely jubblies?

Something I have noticed about French women is that they walk like they spent last night with the rugby team and look at you like they aren't sure if you were there or not.

How much have you sent her that wasnt on a wire transfer ?

According to HMRC '50% of wife wire transfer money is redeemable against expenses, 65% of wife brown envelope, 87% of cheque, and 0% of nicked out of your pocket while you were asleep'

The problem you are going to get is that you used a wire transfer.

You could have just used your company debit card and withdrew a whole bundle of cash out of the ATM and handed that to her in an envelope.

I've had a look at the hmrc guidelines and it appears you might, just might get away with it as your wife is of French nationality.

Surely your wife is a depreciating asset and so cannot just be expensed but must be written down accordingly. As you seem to be a muppet I'd suggest doing this as fast as possible.

But as the OP is more concerned with maintenance of said asset I assume it's fully allowable.

Just £2K in one year?
Fancy a wife swap?

<OLD JOKE>My wife had her credit card nicked the other week, I haven't reported it. The thief is spending less than she was!</OLD JOKE>

It's my understanding that only in Germany are you allowed to expense that type of service

I really think this thread needs a wider, more creative audience. Moved to General.
