How much can I spend on a laptop

[eliquant]

I got a Sony Viao VGN-Z11WN with a light carbon body, one of the best things I've ever bought.

Dumb question of the day... Why buy on expenses and invoice it? Why not just buy it on company card and file the receipt? Is this to give the impression you own it not the company?

I have a feeling this is a daft question but had to ask.

You don't get consumer protection if you buy on a company credit card, but you do if purchased on a personal card.

Notebook NP-Q320-FS01UK Samsung Q320- white - Pentium Dual Core

Delivery cost13.02
Net Amount 430.39
VAT Amount 64.56
Total 494.95

What you do with the VAT depends on whether you are registered, and/or on the flat rate scheme.

Assuming you are either not registered or are and are on the flat rate scheme, the VAT, along with the cost of the laptop and delivery are an expense for you. ie you can claim the entire £494.95.

If you were a permie and your employer bought a laptop for you to use at work, would the business pay for the delivery or would the boss pay for it out of their own pocket?

If you spend over £2k and you are on the flat rate scheme then you can claim the VAT back. Hence, I usually spend about £2k

You must have pretty nice laptops

[Maslins]

Spend as much/little as you want/need.

But do bear in mind even if it is tax deductable it still costs you money, deliberately buying the most expensive one you can find won't make you better off(!)

Buy a laptop you like.

I mean buy a laptop suitable for your business needs.
