    Harriet Madman does it again.

    Equalities Minister Harriet Harman has called for tax breaks for corporate entertainment visits to lap-dancing clubs to be banned. BBC

    Ms Harman has petitioned the chancellor to end tax relief on events which she says exclude female employees and form part of the wider sex industry.

    Ms Harman said going to such clubs should not be a legitimate expense.
    .

    Right on Sister!

    Except ....

    The Treasury said corporate entertainment of any kind was not deductable for tax or VAT purposes.
    Ah, so now what are you going to do then missy?
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    Yes, and hasn't been deductible since before anyone had even heard of the Blair babes.

      From this linky, expenses for entertaining clients is not deductible, but entertaining staff can be.

      I don't think the BBC article was clear on that point.
