    Yes, you can, but just don't drop the soap in the showers...

      It's to go to my family friend Bob in India so I think I can claim the VAT back as well, he's also done some charity work too, so I can gift aid it to him.
      Oh and can I buy a BMW and an iPhone and get a mortgage on my house paid for by the company (or the UK government)?
