Margaret, Business Directors/Owners are the worst .... firstly because they don't increase their salaries to pay for telephone/p.c's at home, etc, saving paying to the income tax man, and secondly, because the expense bills that are submitted to their business are VAT returnable. It's only the smaller employees that can't get away with it ... well, some do actually.
They also have good accountants that point them in the right direction.
Anyway, said my piece now ... know I will stand on my own on this. The M.P's have just been stupid in submitting receipts for items that would seem like extreme living to us, and using the expenses to the maximum ... there again, don't believe too much in martyrs who don't claim.
I don't think their salaries are enough anyway ... when you think Susan Boyle is still predicted to make £5 million still.
