Problematic flights to conference and expenses

[Lance]

More important is this document someone posted above: https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-man...anual/eim31960

I always thought conferences were fine but according to that page "it needs to be demonstrated that attendance was necessary to carry out the duties of the employment of the person attending."

Have a board meeting and mandate an employee to go.

Thanks for posting that link.

The company is paying for the conference but the article seems to be talking about a deduction on a personal tax return? Also, while the conference is putting on a day of training, I didn't purchase that.

As I said, I'm the director and I've determined this is in best interest of the company. No issues with finances.

There's the answer you were looking for, go for it

What you, as director, spend company money on and what yourco can offset against corp tax can be different things entirely. And whether either of those first two constitute a BIK to yourself is another matter again.

We did a newsletter article on training costs a couple of months ago (link) that may be of interest following a tribunal case.
