    True, but then buying a new PC (desktop) would require my personal home broadband to supply a service to something I only use in my home. I get where you're coming from, but I think the link of the broadband tipping the scales one way or the other is a bit tenuous. i think this is just another new piece of tech not fully defined yet. I doubt it would raise an issue - it's a bit of IT tech to help me do business, if it did get called out I think it would be accepted as a geniune mistake, and wouldn't break the bank to rectify.

    In any case, I'll be playing it safe and paying for it personally. I really don't see the point of being a bit dodgy (beyond share split and salary/divi split), even if I could find a way to justify what I'm doing.

      If you're claiming partial home use, then that includes partial broadband use as well.

      My argument is that it is a company asset with incidental personal use. If you face an investigation and HMRC argue that it isn't, then you pay the £100 back to the company.

      I'm pretty risk averse, but I don't see any issue with claiming this, as long as you have a decent enough argument in case of an investigation.
