Challenges: Personal Usage Recovery

Our analysis of over 60 corporate companies mobile use has shown that an average of 30% of mobile spend is on personal calls. This represents £1 billion of cost to UK companies little of which will be recovered by traditional paper and highlighter processes.

Your challenge

The number of workers using mobiles as their primary communication method is increasing and as a result so is the cost of mobile usage as a proportion of total telecom spend. Our analysis of corporate mobile usage has shown that an average of 30% of your mobile usage spend will be on personal calls by your end users.

Whilst no-one is suggesting that for people working late or travelling on business, calling their spouse should be classed as ‘personal,’ ring tone downloads, premium usage and consistent calling of friends and family will incur an unnecessary cost to the business and generate corporate tax liabilities.

Without having processes in place to monitor or recover personal use companies will be exposed to the following:

• Difficulties complying with VAT requirements
• Exposing users to benefit in kind tax change
• Additional costs of an average of 30% of total usage charges
• Non-compliance with internal audit requirements
• Exposure to the use of mobile procurement tariffs
