Business Entertainment and Marketing

Psyche

Hi there
I have a new client who runs a marketing agency. As we know, business entertainment is not an allowable expense for tax purposes but this forms one of the major means marketing firms have of conducting their business. Does anyone know whether there is a different way of classifying entertainment expense when it is a necessary part of the industry?
Thanks for any help.

Entertainment is not allowable full stop, irrelavant of the nature of business.
