What I do find strange is that the OP is considering making his wife an employee for only two months and this is the first question he asks.
But it does have to be an annual event. So you could have Christmas outing and summer BBQ. But a night at the flicks for a new release isn't going to cut it.

As I understand the rules, if you paid it personally and are claiming it back, then it's a no-go.

Originally posted by JRCT View PostAs your wife is already your partner (I presume), then you've already spent the £150 per head.
P.S. It's your Ltd that claims it for her as your partner or an employee. She doesn't claim it as an employee.
And, as Graeme says, it can't be over £300. You say 'about £300'. If your Ltd has spent £301, then you can't claim any of that.

Originally posted by Forbes Young View PostThere is no taxable benefit where the company spends up to £150 (including vat) on each company worker for the annual Christmas Party. The dispensation also extends to one guest each (partner) for whom the company can also expend up to £150.
