    IMO that is just too thinly veiled. Just looks like a day out with the family to me. Why push it that far? You have worked out exactly how much you will be saving here haven't you?

      Edit: or more precisely, yes the total cost per head would mean max £600 for 4 people, obviously, but there's no guarantee HMRC would consider a family day out to a motorsports event in the middle of Summer a company annual event. Do you do this on an annual recurring basis?
      We've been to the same event as the annual company do for the last 5 years. Not saying I would spend £600 on it, in fact costs have always come in well below £300. Just wondering whether next year we can go to the poo bar instead of taking my own butties

            I very much doubt it.

              Never though of asking my accountant on financial issues. Why didn’t someone say?

                Hey, whatever does it for you, I'm not judging.

                  Why don't you throw the invitation open to any friends and family too.

                  If you invite enough, maybe the company would actually make a loss that year.

                    Like it - then I get a free day out and save on the corp. tax bill
