We have an employee taking part in a charity ride which involves two nights accommodation that we would like to meet.(<£190).
What is the most tax efficient method of expensing this?

Call it a contribution to the charity from you?
and nb, reclaim the vat?
VAT on a contribution to charity? I don't know about you, but that confuses me.
1. Gift aid only applies to payments made to charities not hotel groups.
2. You can't recover VAT on non-business expenditure (which this is)
Or is it more like advertising/publicity if it's a local charity????
I think you can recover the VAT. I also think it's business expenditure and deductible as such. There's a BIK on the employee though, unless you can get HMRC to accept it under a PSA.
