Good Morning Kung
Are you self employed / ltd company or employee

Who do you intend to claim it from?

I remember you posted recently about starting a catering business.

Generally if you are in business and incur any costs, including travel costs, which are solely for your business they are allowable expenses for tax purposes.

Can you be a little more specific and tell us exactly what the travel costs are for?

 

[Kung]

Thank you. We would travel to various suppliers and potential suppliers premises, to inspect goods and negotiate face to face with said suppliers. The nature of our particular catering is very high end on quality.

This would probably be on a 6 monthly basis.

You say ‘we’ will it take more than one person?

It would be my wife (business partner) and I. She speaks the language and local dialect naturally. I understand what us being said and could just about get by but don't speak the language to a technical level.
