Hi, i have been self employed on permitted work for years now. I claim an expense called use of house as office. Covers, light, telephone etc at £80 per month. This was agreed with the DWP years ago. On my income and expendire sheet i show this @ £80 per month then my wages - say £200 for example. My problem is that i have always just shown the total £280 as wages in the bank. Nothing actually on the statment for house as office but it shows in the figures from the accountant. He assures me that this is common practice with HMRC and even my eployment support worker assures we this is ok. Even saying "Please stop worrying" She even says "Its not your fault if the accountant gives you bad advice". My worry is if these bank checks come in will they think something is wrong even though i have had all the assurance in the world? Thanks
