Client Gifts with regards to SA
Permalink Closed


Hello

I have a client (filing SA) who would like to claim a small amount on christmas cards and gifts she purchased for client's, is this allowable?

Thanks in advance

Hi Vicki,

for an immaterial amount like cards which was wholly for the purpose of the business I would just stick it to stationary.

There are specialist accountants charity christmas cards, generally with a charity association (although the charities normally only get a small percentage) which you can have specially printed with your company branding.

Those one's are generally put off to the advertising budget rather than stationary.

Gifts can be a lot more problematic with alcohol and tobacco products never being allowable for tax purposes.

If the client goes for something like a gift of a calendar, diary or pen with the company name on it then again it would be allowable within the advertising budget.

HTH,

Shaun.

Hi Shaun

Thank you for you reply.

Yes I did wonder, she had a couple of bottles of Champagne and just wanted to double check. I think it will be safest just to put the cards through.

Many Thanks

Vicki
