3 groan inducing accountancy jokes

The taxman wanted to know why a farmer felt he could get tax relief for a £500 expense listed as ‘entertainment’?” 

The farmer replied, “That’s for my scarecrow. It entertains the crows.” 

A client whose accountant maintained his books in the cloud had the perfect justification for keeping all his paperwork in a shoebox.

He was a sole trader.

A trainee was curious about a regular payment passing through a client's bank accountant. The client supplied copies of his bank statements with notes written beside each transaction. 

The trainee asked the accountant what business the client was in and learned he was a car mechanic. 
At which point the trainee asked 'So why does he buy so many Drawings'.
