Renting a room as a business expense

Didn't find your answer?

Hello,

I'm planning to rent a room near my contract to reduce my communting time, I am director of own limited company. If my boyfriend comes and lives with me, can I still claim for the room? He wouldn't be paying rent it would all come from my account. Or is it then offering a benefit to him?  Thank you.

Whether your boyfriend comes and lives with you or not, if your company is providing you with free board and lodging, it is likely to be a taxable benefit for you personally.

I thought it could be classed as director expense, as it isn't my main residency. Thank you for your help.
