    Well, I went to the HMRC workshop today on expenses and capital allowances and am officially none the wiser on the whole reimbursement thing. The tutor basically said that everything you have to spend is an expense, and that's that. I'm not 100% sure she got my explanation though, since other people kept chipping in with not-really-related examples and confusing the matter. Ah well, I'm just going to carry on regardless and if anyone ever audits me and tells me I'm doing it wrong then I'll take the hit.

    I am very glad I didn't submit my tax return without learning about how much I could charge against capital allowances though. Probably the most profitable 3 hours I've spent in weeks, that was. :D


    Firstly, thanks for this, I had no idea they existed but I enquired after reading this post and they phoned this morning to let me know that they do 'Webinars' which last 30 mins to an hour and they have mostly the same content with Q&A sessions at the end.
    They run all the time (a couple most days) so if anybody is interested then PM me and with your email and I'll forward all the details that they've now emailed to me.

    Wow, how long are the reports for the station jobs on Mystery Shoppers! Did three yesterday, keyed 2 yesterday and got up early this morning to do one. I didn't get it done til 9:30 as I woke up late, is this OK do you think, as it does say by 9.

    Long winded aren't they. I had to get up early too and finished at about 9:10am.
    I have an email back saying it's received and no slap on the wrist for being late so I assume that means it's not a big problem to them.

    Mine as well. It's a shame I can't do more work for them.
    I do about 40 jobs a month for them, love the reports and the fact that they never query a report. Great company to work for.

  • Quick Q - on React it says that the guidlelines have changed and that they should be re-read thoroughly....where are the guidelines???? They're not under any of the main headers e.g. 'Help'.

    Which slapper do you tend to see most?

    I hardly ever see Hyson Green, did a checkout for it once but thats the only time I have seen it.

    I see WB all the time..

    Whereas Arnold is about a mile away from home!

    Eggs - No didn't see any, closest look like they are in West Mids. Did a circuit in Derby last time round.
