I'm in dispute with my accountant over the treatment of a circa £10 valued mobile phone battery that was bought as an employee expense to repair the company iPhone.
I see it as part and parcel of the mobile phone and thus not attracting any tax to pay/does not need to be reported.
My accountant's view is that the mobile phone battery is an asset used for both personal and business use, and thus needs to be reported and will also attract some class 1A tax.
To clarify: This expense is a replacement mobile phone battery only. The mobile phone itself is provided for free as part of a business contract in the company's name.
