    Is porn allowable against tax?

    I have a very stressful job and occasionally I find it necessary it to indulge in a quick 'sherman' over an episode of 'Ben Dover' or 'Pop Shots'.

    I find this an essential stress buster and essential to my business,

    Can anyone advise if this is a legitimate expense???

    If wholey for business then it would probably be allowed : just to be sure make sure you only do it on site.

      So magazines might be ok, but televisual aids not, unless perhaps I had it on my laptop?

      What if my main residence was the cupboard under the stairs at the home of my second cousin twice removed. Would access to TV porn be allowable at my second residence (the 3 bedroomed semi where the other members of my family mostly live) if it was my registered of(ri)fice (fnah fnah)

            I wish he was because, had a minister used our scheme, the retrospective tax Section 58 would never have happened.

                  Depends on genre really. According to the HMRC website, watersports, teabagging and "Dutch Steamboating" are classed a legitimate expenses whereas they state that classic "girl-on-girl" is not.
