I think expensing them will be fine. You won't have to claim immediately - just make sure you keep the receipts.

I'm in trouble if there is a problem as I have an entire library of reference books!
As a last resort I could request these books be purchased directly by the client (they have indicated that this is an option), but I'd prefer to actually own them.

Expensing contract specific reference books?
I'm still new to all this, so apologies if this sounds like a silly question. I'd also phone my umbrella directly for clarification, but I'm in the US for another few days, and I'm too impatient to wait till next week.
There are a number of essential reference books that I will need to purchase for my current gig. Very contract specific stuff, so books I'm unlikely to need for any future contracts (this is a 12-month minimum contract though, likely to be more long term than that). Overall cost comes to about £130, so nothing hugely excessive. Is this something I could legitimately expense?
I've read a few guides but couldn't find any clear guidance on this.Tags: None
