Is Contracting a problem for house sharing?

[northernladuk]

Some posters on here managed to get their landlord to allow them to use the address for VAT and other letters.

I know one of my landlords was fine with the 2 blokes I was sharing with to do that.

They however weren't allowed conduct business from the premise i.e. have visitors, work from home.

Yes, HMRC allow a correspondence address which is different where the company is registered so that isn't a problem and VAT isn't strictly doing business so don't think it would affect insurance.

So basically I can register the LTD at the accountants, and then have a correspondence address at the tenancy. And that should not raise HMRC's eyebrows right?

Do you actually read what's posted on the thread?

The answer anyway is "Yes". Lots of people do that.
