May seem a tad reckless in the current climate (literally) but here goes ... I currently work away on a contract (outside IR35) and offset my monthly rent that I pay for a flat near the work location (200 miles from my family home). I am able to offset £625 (receipted) each month through the umbrella company. I'm looking to incorporate and go limited next month.
I am considering buying a caravan as the modern ones are superb in terms of the services and can be comfortably lived in during the winter. My accountant suggested I don't buy it through the company but instead simply offset the pitch rent, services, utilities etc. A friend advised I get my partner (soon to be wife) to buy it and then I pay her rent? That would then give the headache of her having to declare that as income I guess. I really don't know.
Has anyone done anything similar?
