What about a dart board?

If it is archery target style, with three bands to represent the business entity test risk scores, then yes, it is allowable.

Ahh go on then, since you're buying and that's pretty rare for a northerner, I'll have a jacuzzi please.

That sounds dirty.

Almost certainly. I'll still strive to give a good answer though.

No. He'd have posted in General if he was.

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 ?

Seriously, do people think that just because companies provide such things for employees to use that they have claimed them as tax perks!?

FFS, no wonder governments and HMRC clobber contractors at every opportunity with numpties like this purporting to run their own 'business.'

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

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.

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

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