    New boiler - tax advice

    I suspect my boiler will die in the next 6 months - even a warm summer will be probably enough to finish it off. So I got a finance quote for a fancy new Ideal model, which I'm pretty happy with. (I've not put any money down yet, so alternatives are welcome)

    However it's just occurred to me that there might be something I can do with tax, given that it'd be heating a home office. Are there any schemes or systems which I can use for this sort of thing?

      Finance quote with typical APR 9.9%

      If you must do this (if you must, I suspect you are on the wrong website, BTW) then you'd be much better off looking elsewhere for your loan - 2.8% from Sainsbury's, 3.6% from Metrobank etc depending on the term length. You can get significantly better than their 9.9% unless you are only after a low amount or a short period of time.

        I suggest you place your boiler offshore.

          But you only rent your office. Heating is covered as part of the rent, like the carpet, walls etc. It's not owned by your company.

              If you want a boiler that doesn't last that's the make to get.

              Oh and pay for it yourself...
