expenses and tax - by Sarah

Remember information in the forum is for guidance only and it is best to double check any advice with the tax office before acting on it.

Expenses are a particularly grey area, different people give different advice. Even different Business Support Teams give different advice! So it is hard for information in here to be absolutely correct.
