    'Christmas Party' paid expenses limit?

    Right, its that time of year (almost) but I cant remember the exact amounts.

    So, for a 2 director limited with each bringing a guest to the party, what is the limit amount for the 'party'?

    Is it £150 and not a penny more per director ie £300 bill covers 4 people or what? And yes, I searched and yes, I know it isnt limited to 'Christmas'!
    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

    That's what I was told. £150 per director/employee. Not sure of the specifics whether the £300 total could also cover guests too.

        Bolshie,

        It's up to £150 per attendee, not per director.

        Therefore if you have 2 directors, both bringing their partners, the event can cost up to £600 for the 4 attendees.

        This is extended to household members. But best in mind it's not an allowance and the receipted amount must be claimed.

                Why? Christmas party is something an employer organize and pays for his employees. It's a permie "perk".
                Seems like you want to be a contractor but also have employee benefits....

                  This is incorrect.
