Let me take care of it

[Stevenloan]

(A and B have just finished their dinner at a restaurant. A asks the waiter for the bill and then the bill arrives)

A: Dinner is on me.
B: No. My treat.
A: Let me take care of it. I insist. / Let me take care of it. I won't take no for an answer.

- Hi guys! Which one is more suitable in this context between "Let me take care of it. I insist." and "Let me take care of it. I won't take no for an answer."?

Thanks a lot!

They are equally acceptable. There are many ways to convey this idea such as "you can get it next time" or "I've got this". Another, that may sound a little odd, is "your money is no good here". Even though it may sound a little like an insult, what it really means is that although you are welcome to the goods/service you do not have to pay. Now that I am thinking about it, I wonder if this expression did start out as a negative saying..."Your money is no good here. I'm not serving you...bugger off!"

Actually Steven, using all three at the same time would be completely natural and nice.
