Buying a Caravan through Limited

[tarbera]

Company Race horse

My Company Race horse cost a bloody fortune - I do not advise

[PAH]

Personally I've incurred hotel expenses for a whole weekend away when my car broke down, as it was forced upon me.

People scared of HMRC clamping down on such trivial things have obviously never dealt with them about such trivial things, or I was lucky.

Just don't take the piss too much and they'll find bigger fish to fry.

IIRC you can legitimately claim expenses while staying at a relative's if it's a reasonable alternative to a b&b (i.e. close to the client), though they're supposed to declare this income just as if they had a lodger in.

So an alternative may be to hire the caravan off a relative if you don't want the hassle of listing it as an asset.

Actually, the point I was making was not that staying an extra night was a no-no but that Hector will find it very easy to challenge the "wholly and exclusively" status for almost anything that has a potential element of personal usage. You have to be able to demonstrate why the thing qualifies as "wholly and exclusively" should HEctor ask. If you can, then no problem.
