I beleive that after the recent budget mobile accounts have to be in the name of a company to avoid BIK on personal calls.

You might have an issue with Virgin setting up a TV account in the name of a company, I know NTL used to refuse to do it.

Ditto that - I prefer to keep all my comms separate, I firmly believe in the jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none philosophy. Given you are already making cost savings by having your mobile and internet covered by your company are the extra savings worth the potential drop in service?

Communications costs and packages

At the moment MyCo pays for my mobile and landline/internet as they are part of my business costs. Given that they currently cost me about £50-60 pm I could save by going with virgin media (say) and getting mobile, landline and internet for £40 per month. Of course this also gives me virgin TV, not something I could justify business-wise.

So how would this be viewed? I've but my business costs by £10-20 per month, but I also now receive a TV service that I can't justify for business... can I put the package cost (£40) through the books?
