Should come under professional membership shouldnt it? Certainly be of more use than membership of PCG?

Plus you obviously use golf as a way of networking with your clients and financial advisors

This is very subjective though. By playing golf a couple of times with the managers here, I am getting to know them better and putting myself in an advantageous position in terms of any future work that might come up. You could even argue that if I get extended, the golf club membership has contributed because of this.

I think I'll go for it. I carry tax investigation insurance, so should be in a position to argue my case if the b'stards come knocking.

I claim it, but there again I am in Denmark and you're allowed to claim all sorts of stuff like that. Also it comes off my highest tax rate as well, even better.

I assume we must have some golfers amongst the congregation here, so I was wondering if any of you put your membership fees through your ltd company? I have a financial adviser mate who thinks it should be ok as long as you can show that you use it to entertain existing or new clients. Considering that my current line manager and project manager are both keen golfers, this shouldn't be a problem. What do you think?

Should be the same as taking them to dinner or a brothel. Is that allowed?
