    Been pondering that deal - are there any snags with that - does free really mean free?

    & what's 3 coverage like - currently on O2

    I thought 3 had limited tethering to 4gb or something. I'm on a sim only business 12 month plan with vodafone. It's unlimited everything with 20gb of data per month and I can use all of that to tether devices. TBH I don't use that part much anymore but it was handy when I worked out in the sticks at Knutsford where my ee mobile broadband literally struggled to get 2g! For the first 12 months it was £25+vat but that included spotify premium - on renewal it's been reduced by £10 and still includes the Spotify subsciption.

    No, but if I had, I would check that you were wearing the right shoes on the right feet.

    But, but, it's the company paying for it. So it doesn't matter how much it costs!

    What's the point in saving 20% tax if you pay 200% more for the expense in the first place?

    Of course you can, you just can't put the cost through the business (business calls only).

    Assuming of course you bought the handset separately from the contract. You don't have to put a business SIM in it. YourCo can provide you with a handset and/or a contract but it doesn't have to do both. Personal SIM in company phone - claim phone, not the contract. Business SIM (in company name) in personal phone - claim contract not handset.

    There's no point in having a business contract to claim the tax back if it's costing you money in real terms.
