It cost \u20ac599&#8230; A much more expensive printer than I actually need for the business. It will mainly be for personal use, and only occasionally for business. I paid for it with business funds (but I can transfer the money from my personal account if necessary).In addition, I am also planning to buy a new laptop in the near future (the current one is 6 years old). And that will be a gaming laptop, just like my current one. So also much more expensive than necessary for the business.<\/P><P><\/P><P>What should I do? Transfer the amount for the printer to the business account and also pay for the laptop with my private account? And not contribute anything? I want to do everything correctly; it is not my intention to take advantage.
