How much money are small businesses losing by claiming the wrong expenses?
One of the biggest issues we see isn’t businesses failing to claim legitimate expenses—it’s businesses trying to claim expenses that simply aren’t allowable.
Social media is full of advice saying you can “put everything through the business.” Unfortunately, that’s not how HMRC works.
Some common examples include:
• Personal shopping
• Family holidays disguised as business trips
• Everyday personal living costs
• Personal meals with no business purpose
• Clothing that isn’t a genuine work uniform or protective clothing
Claiming expenses incorrectly can lead to:
✅ HMRC enquiries
✅ Additional tax and interest
✅ Penalties
✅ Unnecessary stress
On the other hand, many businesses also miss out on genuine allowable expenses because they’re unsure what they can claim.
The key is keeping accurate records and understanding the difference between business expenses and personal spending.
Good accounting isn’t about paying less tax at any cost—it’s about paying the right amount of tax while remaining fully compliant.
If you’re ever unsure whether an expense is allowable, ask your accountant before submitting it. A quick conversation today can save a much bigger problem tomorrow.
What are the most unusual expense claims you’ve come across? (Keeping client confidentiality, of course!)
