Talking to a colleague today, and he told me that his boss won’t pay for parking, which, as we know is nothing unusual. So he said, “I wonder if I pay for it, can I claim it back on my tax?” I asked him why he should feel the need to, and he replied that he shouldn’t be forced into parking in layby’s etc, and at the end of the day, his boss goes home to a hot meal, and doesn’t sleep in his shed, so why shouldn’t he have the same?
Now I know that the obvious answer is to tell his boss to shove it and find another job, but he says he likes the easy going nature of the job, which pays ok, and he is left alone, but it’s this that irks him. He did say that it doesn’t happen that often as he is home just about every night, but wants to know what he can do.
Ken.
