Paid Expenses

[Chester]

Need some advice have got a contract where i get my daily rate plus a per diem (for hotels, meal etc) and my flights paid - how do i put this through my ltd co. Haven got an accountant at the moment as had major probelms with the last one and we parted ways. Any help appreciated

IANAL, but I used to invoice separately for this - I'd put in a personal invoice for the per diem amount. I.e.:

EqualOpportunities
123 Green Gardens
Middle England

20 Days @ £50/day per diem.

Dunno if this is kosher, but I never had any problems doing it.

Who is the "I" in the per diem? Presumably your Ltd rather than you personally? Just add it onto the same invoice as a seperate line item, same for any expenses that are explicitly claimed.

Oh, and get an Accountant

The expenses are just part of the "fee" that your co charge to the client - it can all be one lump sum or individual items on the invoice - don't forget though you need to add VAT to the total not just the "services" part.
