Home office expenses

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Hi all,

been searching the forum for this but couldn't find one within 5 mins so I thought I'd ask the question again.

Can I redecorate a room in my house that I use for work at the expense of the business? That includes wooden flooring, TV, monitor, office chair, office furniture etc.

I can't see the point of charging my business rent/mortgage for this? Or is there some benefit I can derive from it?

Much appreciated

I am afraid you won't find this by searching as I don't believe anyone has been daft enough to ask it yet.

You are decorating a room in YOUR HOUSE that you happen to use as an office to which you only claim £4 a week...

Will let you figure that one out.

The business can buy equipment and office furniture but you can't claim redecoration as an expense - I think it's only senior MP's who are allowed to do that

So tables, chairs, cabinets, TV etc are all ok?

Are you contracted out to CUK by any chance?

How is a TV wholly and exclusively for business use?

Even if you try to say it is, it's unlikely you'll ever be able to convince HMRC that you don't sneak a bit of Loose Women on at lunchtime. Which makes it a benefit in kind.

Desk - Yes
Office chair - Yes
Filing Cabinet - Yes
TV - A requirement for your work?

If you use terms that apply to office furniture it doesn't look so much like you're trolling. If you describe your lounge/dinning room furniture it looks like you're taking the piss.
