Ask your accountant.
That's what they are there for.
Oh and you are not a limited company. You are a director of one as the company is a separate legal entity from yourself.Leave a comment:

Nearly forgot, there are some wonderful schemes out there which let you keep 90% of your billable earnings, most contractors are daft enough to not bother with them.
You should use one of these wonderful schemes. Search google for "it contractors 90% take home" and let the money flow in*.
* Ensure you buy some lube with your extra cash.Leave a comment:

I would like to included items such as :
car
home
electrical fixtures and services installation
laptop and printer
diesel/ fuel
please suggest
thanks.
Company cars are *usually* less efficient than just paying for them yourself, as the BIK tax will be high. You can get 45p/mile tax free if using your own car. Unless you do millions of miles, or something. If your company pays for private fuel, HMRC will come and bugger you silly, and you'll pay more tax on the Car Fuel BIK.
If the laptop/printer are genuinely for business, then you can put it through.
You can have £4/week tax free for using your home as an office. Electrical fixtures and services - not a chance. Or rather, two chances - fat and slim.Leave a comment:

Also make any relatives/friends/strangers/lovers directors of your Ltd if they don't work. You can then use their tax allowance to take all that lurvley loot out tax free, give them 2% for their trouble, it's a win win situationLeave a comment:

Just put anything you like through, as long as you've got receipts it'll be fineLeave a comment:
