What kind of credit limit can you get on a company credit card? I have a credit card in the company name but the limit is so low that I could never use it without the backup of my personal credit card, this makes it pretty useless as it would be a mess having the first £X expenses on the company credit card and the rest on a personal one.Comment

Originally posted by dynamicsaxcontractor View PostOf course I have money in the company account, tons of it actually.... But why would I use my company debit card for my expenses? To start it would look messy in the account and I wouldn't get any interest on my money if I kept it in my company current account instead of a high interest (oh well 1%) account.Comment

Unless something's changed recently, there is no difference between a company card and a personal one when it comes to what expenses you have to declare/claim on your P11D/tax return. A purchase on a company card is treated the same way as one on your own. At least that's what my accountant told me, years ago when I used to have a company card.Comment

If it's company credit card being used for business purposes then it's doesn't need to go on a P11D.......
Your employee uses a card you’ve provided to make a business purchase. They have your prior authority for the purchase and when making the purchase they make it clear that they are acting on behalf of your business. For a purchase to be clearly on your business’s behalf, both the following must apply:
- your employee must explain in advance that the purchase is on your behalf
- the supplier must accept that the purchase is on your behalf
What to report, what to pay
Unless one of the exceptions referred to below applies, you have:
no reporting requirements
no tax or NICs to pay
HM Revenue & Customs: Credit, debit and charge cards
The exceptions it refers to are when the employee doesn't have prior permission, and when it's not clearly on behalf of the company. As long as the card is used only for business then there's nothing to report.Comment
