You can claim £12000 for a kitchen and specify any address you like for
where it is fitted.
You can claim £12000 for a kitchen and claim to be living at the
installation address. But stay there only one night a year.
You can claim £12000 for a kitchen, get it delivered. Then get it picked
up and taken and installed at your place in the country.
You can claim £12000 for a kitchen. Then employ a couple of illegal
immigrants to make and fit it. Then inform the police that they appear
to be here illegally, just as you were due to pay them. With any luck,
the police won't also pick up the teenage daughter..That's the way they
do things in the DR - something to think about when planning holiday
destinations.
