Who owns the receipts?

[Andy Allen]

what he really means is ...were completely skint ,can't afford to pay you the measly sum of £148 so will try this tac-tic in the hope of stalling you for a few more weeks...

if he keeps on, send him the receipts, in an envelope, with a big dog turd in there as well..

£148! I wouldn't be rushing back to do any more work for them .
But then there is another side to the issue, but your side is them just stalling.

Well you live and learn, because I got told the other day, not to pay out any expenses without a copy of the reciept, because if the hmrc come in, they want to see the back up info...just saying....

If you are paying exes to employees they should always be backed up by a legit receipt. However if you are invoicing your customers you don't provide them with your receipts surely...

Your work invoice is one thing for the 20% deduction on the CIS system. But I got told without fail if we dont have a copy of that reciept its not to be paid. It gets paid in full, but the back up has to be there.

So to push that to its logical extreme I work for a large company that buys materials from suppliers all the time. They buy materials from their suppliers and so on and so on. What you seem to be saying is that my company should not pay its suppliers without a copy of the receipts they have for the materials they buy from their suppliers etc etc... It just doesn't sound right.... Or am I reading it wrong??

It’s a shame as I have done a lot of work for this bloke in the past. I only get 1 or 2 jobs a year off him now. Personally I believe it is a delaying tactic, but if I had to copy receipts for adhesive from one supplier, Silicon from Topps, screws from Toolstation etc then I would spend more time collating receipts than actually tiling.

As it happens, my last adhesive buy was from the last tax year. I bought a load of gear at the beginning of April. That receipt is now filed and the file has been closed. All I could do is to send him a receipt for a brass tile trim costing £36 and a copy of the CC number.

Also, I’m not 100% confident he is paying my 20% tax contribution, and I know it is my responsibility to obtain proof of this payment, but he does not send me proof.

I am thinking this is the last time I do work for him.

I did try and find an answer to my question on the Inland Revenue site, but I just went round in circles. I rang the 0300 number and just menu after menu.
