If it has to be before 07/08 you've got loads of time to sort it out!

I've got one in my pocket from Leeds on the 7th but only for £30.03 if it's any use?

HR dept advising you to commit fraud - hope you've got it in writing. Wouldn't liek to work for such an unethical organisation. What other activities are they doing that are illegal.

I have either £60 of Tesco Momentum from 04/06 or £65 of Vpower yesterday if that's any good? Doubt I got the VAT part though! Unless as you say its on by default?

Both in W.Yorks

Bit mean of them not to pay on "lost receipt" - we do.

Not unusual for someone's whole monthly expenses to get lost in the post so it's paid without receipts.

It's hardly unethical you tool.
I paid for fuel, which can be proven.
All I want to do is claim back as much of that as possible, but absolutely no more than what I spent.

What's the problem?
I wouldn't stake my life on it and happy to concede if I'm wrong, but call HMRC and ask if they mind you reclaiming expenses and the company reclaiming VAT on a receipt for fuel you didn't actually buy in place of one you've lost. If HMRC tell you that's ok then I apologise, but I'm pretty confident they'll say you can't.

Do what the MPs do, say "I can't be expected to save receipts for everything", and then claim for petrol, taxi,a new rug, butler...smile

HMRC don't expect every receipt to be available.

I know so just say receipt is lost, rather than falsify the claim.
