can i get my buisness to pay 10% of my mortage interest payments? i work from home.?

I run my buisness from home, although im allowed to deduct 10% from my gas/elec and council tax payments as expences what about the mortgage payment? We currently pay £850 interest p/month, getting the business to pay 10% of this would be great. Can I?

I am sure that you cannot do that as it is a capital purchase for living in. And it would be tantamount to renting a business premise which may involve you in the setting of a business rate as well ( national non domestic rate ). You can only claim what costs are uniquely involved in running your business …. buying a home does not come into it.

  2. I do not agree with the previous answerer. You have to include a proportion of all your household running costs in your business accounts, otherwise you are not showing your true profit. These deductions are also allowable for tax.

  3. The answer is yes you can.

    Pay £30 to get the right advice from an account.

    There a potential for the business to own a quarter of you house and it can get complicated.

    Most people avoid it.

    Building a timber framed or brick room in you garden might be an option.
