I've been thinking of updating my library as a means to keep my knowledge and my skills up to date and to acquire new skills. However when I submitted the receipts to my umbrella I was told that I could not class them as a justifiable business expense unless they were necessary for my current contract.
To be honest they aren't relevant to my current gig but they are relevant to my personal development and will help me add more value to future clients (not to mention upping my fee). After all, I don't by these books for a little light bedtime reading!
Other contractors with other umbrellas I worked for have submitted receipts for anything from new suits to laptops.
Just wondering what your experiences have been?
