My concern with this method is that the £100 would appear to show as income. IE: the taxman sees an invoice for £500, payments of £500, and so taxes me correspondingly. But I haven't received £500! I want the taxman to tax me only on £400, and to see paperwork to explain the £100 discrepancy between the income and the £500 invoice. Stroller.
