If you′re staying in a hotel while away on business, you′re entitled to £5 for personal expenses every night. (Or £10 if abroad.) This covers laundry, personal calls, newspapers, alcoholic drinks and videos. And you needn′t keep receipts. You can claim back business-related phone calls (and the VAT) on both landlines and mobiles. Postage, too. And all HM Revenue & Customs-approved.
