You can claim subsistence allowance if you are “overnighting” away from home.

 

Personally I follow my accountants advice, he says I should collect every receipt I can and it’s his job to decide which can be used for deductions.

Exactly what I was getting at.

You can not claim for a Chinese every Saturday though, this guy thought he was getting away with doing that but wasn't.

Get a good accountant and ask him any questions you have.

You can claim for anything. If the inland revenue decide to investigate you, which is done on a random basis. they will go through every single expense with a fine tooth comb. All the crazy stuff will come back to bite you. Including any phone calls on a mobile business contract that can't be proven to be solely and wholly for the business.

I dont know what you can get away with in the uk,but i know a guy in the building trade that puts nerely ever thought the business.He put a washing machine thought the business as it washes his working cloths,He even puts dog food and vet bills thought as its ment to be a guard dog for his yard:001_smile: .

He has been getting away with it for the past 6 years

As Jason says you can put anything you like through and get away with it untill they investigate!
