I think the reason is that the little team that visits gets to get away from their cubicle farm for a week or so and go visit the countryside: enjoy the views from my office and garden. Girly and housekeeper make a fuss of them too.
Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

I got investigated last year.
... all the invoices, expenses, etc,etc for the company accounts...
they overlooked them and accused me of not declaring a 'rent-a-room' to my pal.
Accountant provided all documentation, I provided all bank input.
They said no further investigation required.
Accountant sent me a bill for £500 he said 'the perils of being a taxpayer'
question: is there a 'double jeopardy' rule whereby they can't re-ivestigate any period prior to the investigation?Comment

Special message for Hector if you're reading: you can't get meHow did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Yeh, two compliance visits plus another load of written queries. Big demand for tax on expenses. Fortunately, they made a total hash of it and I ended up with a £100 refund. Accountant was useless. Handle it yourself.
PS On simple stuff that is. I probably wouldn't on IR35 or complex stuff.Last edited by xoggoth; 15 December 2009, 12:06.bloggoth

Had an AHV (equivalent of NI) inspection last week. Accountant handled it. The AHV bod has recommended that we be inspected only every 8 years, rather than every 4 years. I think it's because my accountant's office is in a dodgy area...Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Would you like to tell us more about why you are asking this?'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
