Can you claim your mobile as a business expense?

If you currently use your personal mobile for your business, you could bill it through your company instead and make it tax deductible.

Who is eligible?

If you’re a sole trader, partnership or the director of a registered company you will be eligible to buy a business mobile. See a full list of eligible business types below:

  • Sole trader
  • Partnership
  • Public limited company (PLC)
  • Private company limited by shares (LTD)
  • Company limited by guarantee
  • Unlimited company (Unltd)

  • Community interest company (CIC)

If you are an individual wanting a mobile for personal use only, you cannot buy a business mobile from KCOM.

Claiming your mobile as a business expense

HMRC provides guidance on how to expense mobile phones, which are tax deductible:

  • You must order the mobile phone with your company name
  • You can only expense one mobile phone per employee
  • Any additional handsets would be counted as assets

Go to the Gov.uk website for more information.
