As we approach tax return season, here are some unusual expense claims HMRC have rejected in previous years:
A 3 piece suite for a wife to sit on while her partner was completing the accounts
Vet fees for a rabbit
£4.50 sausage and chips meal for 250 days
A carpenter claiming £900 for 55 inch tv and soundbar to help him price his jobs
£40 on woolly underwear for 5 years
Pet dog insurance
Strange ones I have seen, but rejected before they got to HMRC are:
£500 for Ann Summers – some uniforms are allowed, but not in this case!
Oil for a van, but the receipt was from a pub.
