Hi,

I've signed up for the pizza delivery assignment. Being reimbursed £12.50 but it will cost £16. Is that normal?

Thanks

I was going to say put something up on the first page, but people would still question it and have their opinions of what's taxable and what isn't. To me, really, it's ALL taxable, the fee and the reimburssment. So maybe a default answer could be, if you're not sure then tax the lot.

I wrote out a great long reply..... then I got bored. I agree with your last statement. Tax is paid on everything.

Sorry, an accountant and a HMRC agent disagrees with that, there is little black and white in tax.

I have used most major pizza delivery companies, I know you can get a pizza for less than the reimbursement, you are choosing to spend more.

PS. It's free listings on eBay if anybody wants to put their bits and pieces on. :D

I do hope you are declaring that to the taxman :rotfl:

Uhhhhh I think you've missed my point.

Feel free to give me your accountant and HMRC agents views on it though, I'd love to hear them

Some company's specify what pizza you need to buy, or what size. It was my experience with Gapbuster that they never paid enough to cover the cost of the item they told me to buy but I stopped working for them about three years ago.

oh yes, however, go for a tuesday and it's 2 for one, so although it costs a bit more you get 2 pizzas. the only way the fee covers it is to go for bogging pasta

The gap pizza company are doing select pizzas for well under the reimbursement mon-fri.
