Mobile phone through company

[dx4100]

Well it seems pretty fundamental to me. If the contract is with you it's your phone, if it's with the company its a company phone. AFAIK the advice has always been contract with company paid by company and you are OK. It's not worth dicking about with any other setup.

If your accountant is OK with it I'd be asking why just to be sure.

There is no "contract" other than the sites terms and conditions. Which I just noticed said no business use.

So yup, I am going to have to change it. Luckily I only recently changed. My bad, tulip happens...

After a new phone now. Galaxy S7 more than likely. Noticed, I can get a better sim only contract for £15 a month (12 month min) or a phone included one for £37 a month (24 months).

So, basically, you're paying for the phone over the 24 months.

No tulip Sherlock. You know they've been running this model for about 15 years don't you?

That's a fairly recent thing - it used to be that you could use it for business but they wouldn't cover you for loss of business etc. if the network went down.

Although the "we will cancel the service if you're a business user" is in the summary at the top of the T&Cs I couldn't see any reference to is in the actual terms and conditions - might be worth contacting them and asking if it's a big deal.

It seems that HMRC won't let you do "PAYG"... Although this is a 30 day thing. So not sure where it sits. I am guessing its not in a good position.

To be honest for the couple of £££s either way I am not bothered. Just signed up for O2 Business. Issue goes away. Might have to repay a bit of money mind. Couple months of mobile bills.

Well, you must have been originally to get here in the first place

It wasn't really... It is a bit complex but I went through a process of closing my company last year and then reopening it again before it was struck off as I went back to contracting.

I bought my own phone through the company. I pay for GiffGaff sim only through my company.

Business tariffs are a rip off.

So you're on a personal tariff? So how'd you pay that through the company?

[psychocandy]

I was told by accountant that the invoices / receipts for the sim payments must be in the company name and not mine. So I think this need to be considered if doing a personal deal. Giff Gaff lets me put my company name on the invoices.

Havent the payment got to come directly out of business account too?
