Client Christmas Party

[woohoo]

Can't believe after 9 years of contracting I didn't know any of this.

I'm going to take the company secretary out for meal and order the most expensive bottle of red that I've ever ordered. Happy Xmas.

Remember as with all claimable expenses - it's not saving money if you weren't planning to go out anyway!

But, assuming you go out for the odd meal with a partner - make one in December the xmas party and pay for it on the company debit card.

I'm with Jamesbrown on this. For the £150 per head to apply it must be an "annual" event/function. The key word for interpretation is annual IMHO. Annual being something that occurs every year (tax year in this context of the thread). Probably mentioned in more words in this thread but you can spend more than £150 per head aggregated but then the whole lot is subject to BIK. I'd spend up to the £150 and then fork out personally for the rest.

The CUK party could count toward the annual function/event cost 😉

Don't Go

Don't go it's Xmas which is the worst invention ever.. stay in and be a Grinch

So if it has to be annual, the fact d000hg Ltd did this last year for the first time means I'm now forced by HMRC to take myself and the wife out for dinner on the company's dime every Christmas-season?

How annoying

[Craig@Clarity]

Oh schucks!!! How annoying indeed although it doesn't say in their guidance that you have to enjoy it and have fun 😋

I did mention the wife would be there


(only joking, but it was too obvious to miss)

Do Receipts have to be provided to your accountant for this?

If you normally provide your accountant with receipts then yes.

My accountant doesn't ask for physical copies of receipts, so i don't provide them to her.
