    "Company" fines

    My idiot driver* got stopped for speeding whilst driving me to my temporary place of work this morning.

    I don't pay him any salary so I guess my LTD is going to have to pay the fine for him.

    It shows the same level of incompetence that my stupid finance clerk** showed when going overdrawn last month and incurring bank charges. Charges which my LTD will have to pay because I don't pay him a salary either.

    Luckily, I can offset them both against tax. Surely. Come on HMRC!

      Will you be paying BIK on these, or are you hoping that your company will be being down to pick up the soap in the showers?

            but bank charges are fine, even tax deductible.
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              Of course you can. There's a BIK.

                You cannot claim for fines when you break the law, unless it's treated as a benefit in kind (the company paying your personal liability). The same goes for legal fees - you can claim them if you win, but not if you lose.

                Oddly though I think it was Gordon Ramsey who appealed parking fines and got away with it, because he got so many it was deemed to be a part of his trading expenditure. He had to park outside his restaurants in London, there was never anywhere to park, so he got them on a daily basis.

                  I agree. I'll be having a meeting with the board later this week.

                    How fast were you going?

                    You could try asking at advice site: PePiPoo: Helping the motorist to get justice
                    However these days they are very much on the side of the police not the driver.
