Mobile phone under ltd Company..

[BiggieBig]

I currently have a mobile under the company...

currently thinking of getting a 2nd phone but remember reading somewhere that only one mobile is allowed.

Is this true ?

You can have 2 phones, you are only allowed to claim for 1.

HM Revenue & Customs: Telephones - mobile

what if there's two employees (directors)

sounds like your allowed one each

[Craig@Clarity]

The company can provide you with a mobile phone and a PDA (iPhone or Blackberry).

I have 2 Phones one for me one for the wife (co Secretary) on the same contract through 02, never had any query with this and it probably saves money as 02 to 02 are free rather than me ringing a different mobile/home phone that may have a cost.

That's fine - one phone per employee.

now the other issue I have is that we're both on Friends and Family discounts. So don't want to combine the bills as there may be issues getting our discount back when we go back to personal accounts.

So I will have one mobile under compnay name with discount appliend and 2nd one under my wifes name, which I can pay directly through co or as a reimbursement.

Anyone see any issues with this..

Potentially - in order for the company to pay for it, it needs to be a company liability. Therefore it has to be in the company name. If the 'phone is in your wifes name then it's her liability, and the company paying it will create a benefit in kind.

Have a read through the link Cojak posted to see how HMRC treat it.

You could ask your mobile provider if they could add a company name on the bills, and ask if there are any issues with doing this. They will probably ask for Incorporation documentation and VAT certificate, but if you are able to retain your plan, then there shouldn't be any issues.

Problem with this is that I already have my Plan under the company name. So I guess if both plans are under the company name this may be an issue when we both want to move back to a personal price plan. As we may lose a single discount futher along the line...
