Not saying I'm desperate to save a few pennies, quite the opposite - I only wish I was more of a miser.
But I'm all in favour of aggressive tax avoidance and saving every penny that would otherwise go to HMR&C and mostly be wasted.
Now I spend a fair bit in charity shops, on nicknacks, books, and clothes, and what have you. I probably spend an average of £30 pounds a week in them.
I even bought a brand new pair of really nice slippers in one the other week, although I'd draw the line at obviously used everyday shoes (But even with those, maybe wellies or ski boots or something would be handy).
So anyway, I wondered if I could send the receipts to my accountant each year, and have this expenditure treated as tax-deductable. Why not?
