Re-chargeable expenses
My understanding is yes you can, as that is the designated IR rate. The client is not payinf 25p per mil to you, it is paying it to your Ltd Co. The arangement between your Ltd Co (not you) has with the client should not affect the arrangement between yourself and your Ltd Co.- JonnoWeb
