Office Rental - expense...?

[northernladuk]

Business rents office and you are asking if that is allowable? Honestly....

Unless there is something else to this we don't know as there often is with `Can I' questions... But then this could be just be a genuine but ridiculous question.

You are at risk of sounding like a contractor running at a business

Could I have been paying my business accountancy fees from my business account all this time?

It depends... Do your business accountancy fees cover business accountancy for your business?

In hindsight, it did sound like something for Captain Obvious...however since I've been claiming home office expenses previously to suddenly expense an office too might have seemed marginal. I've simply cut off the home expenses expenses and yes deffo put the lease in my CoName cheers

STOP THE PRESS: You can claim both.

Use of home is even going up from £4 a week to £6 from 6 April...

Renting an office is fine unless you've been booted out of home too due to isolation etc. I don't think you're allowed to kip at the office though. Perhaps if you fell asleep at your desk you maybe ok.... Seriously though, fine to rent an office, have a company mobile phone, pay for stationery, accountancy fees etc and probably hand sanitisers for the office if you can find any. As someone has mentioned, whether any offices are open is a different situation.

Of course.

It's assumed the OP is running their own biz since they made reference to "put it through the books".

That's quite an assumption with the posts we've been having over the last few months
