Uber as expense

[cannon999]

I commute to my contract workplace mostly via taxis. I don't have a business account set up with them I pay for the taxi and then reimburse myself at the end of the month for the trips. The accountant has given me the green light to do this, just want to double check does anybody else do this?

Here's a fun fact. You can have more than one payment method on an account. You could put your business trips against a business card and personal trips against a personal card. Or continue in the manner that you already do as that is also perfectly normal, as confirmed by your accountant.

If you reimburse yourself, then you're no better off. You can do this, but why bother?

I see what you did there. Very clever.

Once we've established that it is his Ltd that is reimbursing him, we can agree that it is allowed.

The next question is whether there is a benefit in kind.

Will we have to ask how long the contract has been running and when it finishes?

Will we have to ask how long the contract has been running and when it finishes?

Yes. Then we can ask whether if it is in a new location, and if not how long the OP was working and expecting to work at this location beforehand.
