Dave Hartnett, the permanent secretary for tax at HM Revenue & Customs, topped a survey of 172 senior civil servants carried out by researchers at City University.
They found that the civil servants were entertained on 3,151 separate occasions between 2007 and 2009, including trips to the tennis at Wimbledon, football matches at Chelsea and Manchester United, opera performances and fashion shows.
Mr Hartnett, who is in charge of the Britain’s tax system, was entertained 107 times, mostly at breakfasts, lunches and dinners, by some of the UK's biggest banks, law firms and accountancy firms, among others.
Companies that entertained him included Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PriceWaterhouse Coopers, and Deloitte.
