I'll probably be going abroad to talk about a possible work that I might be doing. My only expense is flights as I can stay with friends but instead of staying 1-2 days I decided to stay for about a week. Can I claim this as an expense (tickets only)? Also, can I claim for any client entertainment while I'm there?

There are different rules on overseas entertainment hut I doubt they will help.
Strictly staying with friends and extending the trip renders the expenses questionable anyway due to the duality of purpose.
I would put it through personally and argue the point in any subsequent inspection.Comment

I might have a chat with a guy in Vegas about a job and spend a week there. All expenses paid week on the company in the City of Sin. Happy days....'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

Yes. Get the people you know to invoice you for your accommodation, and you should be fine. I've done this myself without issue from HMRC - long time ago though!Originally posted by cinek View PostI'll probably be going abroad to talk about a possible work that I might be doing. My only expense is flights as I can stay withfriends but instead of staying 1-2 days I decided to stay for about a weekpeople I know. It will take about a week.. Can I claim this as an expense (tickets only)?
I believe you can claim entertainment, but it isn't tax deductible. Check with your accountant.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
