Did you know?…… Use of home as office

08/12/2017 By Emma Stevens

use of home as officeAs a limited company director, you can claim money from the company for use of home as office. You, personally, will not need to pay tax on this money and the company can claim tax relief for paying it.

You can claim for things to do with your work e.g. business telephone calls or the extra cost of gas and electricity for your work area. You can’t claim for things you use for both private and business use such as rent or broadband access.

You do not need to provide evidence for claims of up to £4 a week (£18 a month). For claims over this amount you will need to provide evidence of what you spent and how you calculated the proportion charged to the company.

For more details on use of home as office and other tax savings you can make contact Emma Stevens
