Expenses on rented temp accom while on away gig

[richy]

Hello.

Recently I took a new contract which needs me to live/work away from my main office in the UK. I run my own ltd company.

So I know that I can claim such expenses (accom, mileage subsistence), the difference now is that my partner has also moved in with me at the place I have rented for this contract.

So my idea was to only claim half the rent from my Ltd? The tenancy agreement we took out was a personal one with the landlord, both of our names on the contract.

So I would record expenses my ltd would reimburse me:

Half rent
All phone bill
All Broadband bill
half electric bill
half water bill
half council tax

Not claimed:
TV license

Does that all sound fine? Anyone else doing similar?

Cheers, Richy

With your partner moving in it sounds like your main residence has moved.

Go and talk to your accountant as you are not an MP.

Are you sure about that? I think he ticks all but one of the boxes. I think he should have at least claimed the TV license.

You should talk to your accountant, but as long as you do have a main residence elsewhere, claiming should not be a problem.

Ok, yes, I checked with accountant and QDos. as claiming half this accom is similar to the previous temp accom I rented while on contract it is confirmed to be fine. HMRC don't have a problem with company's like mine, as long as we are reasonable!

Cheers, richy
