is a pool table an allowable expense

[Jessica@WhiteFieldTax]

Yes. It is fine. I checked this with HMRC and got it in writing that it is allowable and have bought pool table. You need to get your company logo printed on baize or engraved on wood. Get an expensive one if on FRS so you can reclaim VAT on capital expense

If it has the logo on it, does that count towards the £1,200 advertising thingy? After all the cleaner and the gas man will see it?

Yes. Ideally, the baize doubles up as a suit as well, with a prominent logo, like Nosher Garrett when he went over the wall in Porridge.

a meeting room table is required ...and will try and find one that doubles (excuse the pun) as a pool table

You wouldn't believe me if I told you I corrected it straight away, but the edit wasn't saved...

I once expensed a mononpoly quiz machine back in around 1998. Account was like 'no-way' until I explained I'd bought it to develop an Internet Kiosk, so he let it through. I then went off contracting somewhere for 3 months and my flatmate was so ticked off when I returned it had somehow found itself to the tip.

Not a good investment

Some companies have xbox/pool table/table tennis and the like for staff or clients to relax at the office.

could you argue the same for ltd company with a home office ?

Large companies provide staff facilities like pool tables to motivate team building for low paid workers so you may have a problem convincing Hector that your company needs a pool table to motivate its only employee.
Maybe you could invite Dodgy Agent around for a game of pool and he will lower his commision
