Title: Doing a job to pay for goods?
Post by: DaveG on March 01, 2013, 04:55:21 pm

I'm "buying" a brand new (£300) trade triple ladder off a customer by cleaning his windows  free 10 times (its a £12 job).

Is this tax deductable, if he gives me an invoice, bearing in mind no money is changing hands?

Cheers

I dont think the tax-man does "buying" however if you bought it then yes.

Works both ways you see, why should you be able to get tax relief on it when you're not declaring your "earnings"?

No Dave, the ladders are £300 brand new,  I'm doing 10 cleans at £12 each which equals £120.

 300
-120

=180

Making a saving of £180
