VAT and tax deductions on business entertainment expenses
You are entitled to deduct VAT on entertainment expenses if the costs are directly related to your business. This applies, for example, when the entertainment is a natural part of business negotiations or staff welfare initiatives.
To be eligible for a deduction, your business must be liable for VAT or have the right to claim VAT refunds. Examples of entertainment expenses could include lunches and dinners, or mingles where only drinks are provided.
