If 5 staff and 5 Clients attend an Industry Award evening what is the best way to treat this for tax purposes?

Can it be considered as networking/marketing or does it have to split 50/50 and if so is this between client and staff entertaining. Also, if the latter can 50% of the VAT be claimed?

    Networking

    I treat as a networking and PR exercise. So no BIK, fully allowable and can claim vat.

    Many Thanks for your help, would this be the same if it was all staff and therefore not a PR exercise?

    Yes, it is still networking as you would be meeting others from the same industry. You may well have chance to do the business others from the same industry!
