Boris Johnson is being investigated by the MPs' standards watchdog over the funding of his Caribbean holiday in late 2019.
Commons standards commissioner Kathryn Stone has confirmed she is looking into whether the PM correctly declared how the trip was paid for.
Mr Johnson has previously declared he received accommodation worth £15,000, covered by businessman David Ross.
No 10 has previously said it was properly registered.
Mr Ross, a co-founder of Carphone Warehouse, initially said he did not "pay any monies" for the trip to the private island of Mustique, part of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
He later clarified that he had "facilitated" accommodation for the prime minister, and Mr Johnson's declaration of a "benefit in kind" was "correct".
The prime minister took the holiday with his then-partner Carrie Symonds, now his fiancée, between Boxing Day 2019 and 5 January 2020.
He declared the accommodation in the February 2020 version of his Register of Interest, which MPs have to update every few weeks when Parliament is sitting.
But Labour had asked for the standards commissioner to investigate, saying at the time Mr Johnson's entry "appears to be incorrect".
The news that a probe is under way was confirmed on Monday, when Ms Stone published a list of MPs currently being investigated.
Ms Stone had said she would publish the list after this month's series of elections had finished. She gained the power to do so recently after a tweak to Commons rules.
Word has it that there's a huge trough in the basement of Number 10, and Johnson regularly visits it, returning with his snout dripping with sleaze.
