A client trades through a limited company of which he is the sole director and employee. His wife owns 50% of the company’s shares. The client will attend a four-day skills update course in the US
A qualified chiropractor trades through a limited company. He is the sole director/employee and the company’s shares are held jointly with his wife.
He is proposing to attend a four-day skills update course and conference in the US. His wife is planning to join him on the trip and they will take the opportunity to take a holiday in America with the costs relating to that additional holiday time met personally.
Our uncertainty not surprisingly centres on the extent to which the company can claim a corporation tax deduction on costs relating to the trip and whether the chiropractor will be taxed in relation to a benefit-in-kind.
Readers’ thoughts on these two points would be appreciated together with any pointers our client should be aware of in relation to the trip such as record-keeping cost allocation etc.
