It was a personal purchase as it was between me and the shop, not my business and the shop. I couldn't buy it through my business as its not mainly for business use (HMRC rules, not mine). However, yes the source of my inconvenience is that I can't use it to earn money.

I borrowed a PC for 2 weeks to cover (with contingency) the time they told me a repair would take. I had to return it after 2 weeks.

Your not grasping the whole context of what marlepanda is telling you here.


It doesn't matter how you bought, with business or personal money doesn't matter. It is used for business, no matter how little, although you do put a lot of effort into telling us how it's upsetting your business, so you have no consumer rights and that includes S75 protection.

Sounds like a business to business transaction.

Certain rights (such as sections 14(2) and 14(4) of SOGA) continue to apply unless excluded and it is reasonable to do so.

Although in b2b, it only needs to pass the usability test where with consumer contracts, it needs to pass the acceptability test.

Off-topic or not, but you need a better accountant.

It is perfectly normal for a business to buy an asset, such as a computer, which has a duality of purpose. (It's the purpose that has to be wholly and exclusive, not the asset itself.) The business buys the asset, but only claims 80% of the cost as a capital allowance, because 20% of it is private use, for example.

If the OPs business is a limited company then the personal use would need to be declared via P11D and therefore taxed on his own self assessment return.

Why have you only got one computer when you rely on access to one for an income?. I have 4 computers that only I use plus others I can use if needed and I don't rely on any of them for my job.
