Now it may well be that the CAA says that some of the time doesn't count towards training requirements. But the flight time logged is still the same.
A flight school I do a little teaching at works on 10 minutes before take-off until 5 minutes after landing.
My understanding is that that is entirely to do with billing and should be treated as such. What goes in a pilot's logbook remains brakes-off to brakes-on, and should absolutely do so.
That said, the nature of the airfield is that rounded to the nearest 5 minutes, the two are almost always the same anyhow.
