Teeth Whitening as a Business Expense?

[MarillionFan]

I got my piles done as a business expense because I need to sit in front of a PC all day.

WHS

I had the callouses on my hands seen to because I work at home on my own in front of a computer for long periods of time.

I have vague memories of a page 3 model trying to claim a boob job as tax deductible and being turned down.

Can this be moved to Business and Legal?

We don't want to raise the bar too much - it'll scare off the newbies.

Can I claim my teeth-whitening as a business expense through my limited and also claim for fake black teeth enhancer for my night job?

Also can I income-split with the other members of the band who are also me?

For some reason this reminds me of the black and white minstrel show

I'd say by all means claim for a set of sparkling new gnashers, and throw in a pair of big diamond cufflinks!

Why a BIK? White teeth are no use to me, I save loads on toothpaste and general hygiene - I have a girlfriend, thanks to Rohypnol. Can I expense the Rohypnol?

Is your girlfriend wholly and exclusively for the use of the company? If that is the case stick the Roofies through and all expenses incurred by said gf if I was you.

It depends if she is an employee. I can certainly see how she would benefit.

Dim is correct, but of course there would be a BIK.

The correct way forward is implants or gold teeth, engraved with the company logo, in which case they can be classified as a uniform and therefore an allowable business expense.

Alternatively, buy a Ford Transit van, and get in converted into teeth.

By day I am a contractor like one or two here, but my new role requires me to be customer facing and it's been made clear to me my rotten black teeth won't cut it at this level.

Trouble is my night I am a Shane MacGowan tribute act, I play to backing tapes with my virtual band 'Pogue onMyown' where my real black rotten teeth make me stick out in this game ahead of other tribute bands here in Ireland such as 'ZZ Top of the Mornin', U2 Two, 'Lav Nacinood (the Irish Crooning Anagram)' and 'Earth, Wind For Hire' (not Irish).
