Hello,

 

I prepare the accounts for a childminder who works from home. She is allowed to claim 33% of her heating bills. Her boiler has broken and she needs to buy a new one. Can she claim back some of the cost of this? I don't know if this is relevant, but British Gas told her that she is a priority customer as she looks after under 5 year olds.

 

Many thanks for reading

Nicola

British Gas prioritise customers for repairs, old aged, children and anyone with illnes are considered 'vulnerable' which just means they fix their problems before the rest of us.

No on the boiler I'm afriad, it's not wholly and exclusively for the business.

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.

Hi Joanne,
Thank-you, of course, where was my head, I forgot that old power phrase "wholly and exclusively"
Thanks for taking the time to respond-appreciated.
