Sorry if this is an old chestnut for some.
Are there any circumstances in which the following is allowable as a tax deductible expense:
- putting on a slideshow/nibbles for a group of potential customers
- providng a venue for networking and providing sarnies etc
not sure if considered entertaining or advertising/pr?
Any input greatly appreciated
Thanks and regards

With respect, I can't imagine your slideshow is that entertaining so I would definitiely put that to marketing! Associated nibbles should also be fine.
As for the networking event that is going to be a judgement call. If the sarnies are 'prawn sarnies' and the venue is a box at Old Trafford then you are going to struggle..0 -
I agree, if you consider what they mean by "entertaining", I think you're safe!0

Is the event primarily a marketing event?
Nibbles at a sales talk is, dinner at a football match isn't. There 2 easy examples and there will be many shades of grey inbetween.0
