Is it worth it?

Seems a lot of hassle and risk to save a few quid on tax. Hmrc could argue that you didn’t just use it for work.

What do you mean risk? I’m not doing anything illegal, just wondering whether to bin the receipts or give them to my accountant.
Save a few quid on tax ? Is that not what we all do , put our expenses in to save a few quid on tax? I take it you don’t claim for any gloves you wear because it’s only a few quid?


Risk of an audit I mean.

I like to stay under the radar.

By others advice it seems to be an allowable expense though. So hey ho. I’ve lost out on about £9.50 of saving over the years.  ;D

Looking at this it's difficult to argue that's it's NOT a business expense:

Obviously use a different bottle when you're down the beach or in Mexico.

It's not a risk. It's 100% definitely an allowable expense to anyone who works outside.

Maybe but I bet HRMC would want a break down of how much was for business use and how much personal.

Not sure how you would measure it

Simple, tell them you buy another bottle for personal use so this one is 100% ppe

I didn't use it in Mexico and got badly brunt.  I thought I was a tough hombre, so learn from mistake.

*Please don't try this at home or in Mexico. Apply liberally.*
