My partner and myself both need to travel from Oxford to Cambridge for company meetings. These may be up to six times a year. We have an old dog and need to pay someone to look after him while we are away. So far this has cost us some £500 this year. If we can't have someone look after him then we cannot both travel and we are both required for the meetings.
Can we claim the cost of dog care as a business expense as it is incurred wholly and exclusively to allow us to travel on business?
