If I have a remote job, can I expense hotels?

[WTFH]

If the OP does that and has an inquiry their advisors will drop them like a hot potato.

I'm not convinced the OP has advisors who tell him what he wants to hear, that's why he comes on here looking for our combined wit, wisdom and luck.

As far as dodgy questions about dodging tax goes, this one has to be nominated for most stupid tax dodging post on CUK for 2016. Either the OP is stupid beyond repair( god only knows how he is still contracting), or OP stays awake most nights dreaming up extreme ways to not hand over cash to HMRC.

I think you are right on the advisers thing.

So if I have a remote job, can I work a week from Barcelona and expense the hotel while working from there?

Yes, of course you can. Also, don't forget to expense your transportation costs to prove you actually travelled there....

Yes, you will be working on client deliverables and as a Company Director, you are entitled (in fact it is you legal responsibility) to make decisions as to how best to deliver the contract. Travelling to Barcelona as a legitimate business expense is also a strong pointer that you are a legitimate business, and not just a bum-on-seat permitractor like some of the idiots on this thread.

If he's on a plane, he's got his bum on seat.

What a cockwomble.
