I've just returned to Ireland and setup a company with my partner. As part of my job, I have to go to Dublin weekly, and stay overnight, either in a hotel or with my sister who lives near dublin.
I want to make sure I am entitled to claim expenses for mileage and overnight stay using the unreceipted flat rate scheme.
As we're only starting up, I am paying myself the minimum amount I need to pay the bills, after I claim expenses.
Is this ok?
I'm not trying to be underhanded, it's just that with all the travel, my expenses are pretty much the same as what I end up paying myself as a wage.
