complete bolloX ttl. You need to read the story properly. It was IPSA not MPs that came up with this idea, which has now been widely slated by MPs of all parties, including Sunak |

The issue is the funding as an allowable expense of a festive celebration NOT for the MPs as MPs but for thecSTAFF they employ and themselves as employers
Anyone who has ever run a company or Partnership will be aware of the provisions that have existed since Bob Cratchitt’s day
From the Inland Revenue ICTA Handbook (admittedly a few years ago) discussing expenses and benefits
‘The employer may claim as a tax deductible expense, and employees may enjoy tax free the cost of an Annual Event (held perhaps, but not necessarily, at Christmas) subject to the following:
1) The event must be open to ALL employees.
2) The total cost paid by the company must not exceed X Per Employee
When I last took advantage of this as an employer, many years ago, X was £100. I know it went up after that
Knowing this to be the case it seems to me unless this provision of company entertainment of employees once a year has been struck from the rules, someone needs to have this section of the ICTA handbook printed super large on A3 cartridge paper and be offered the option of choking on it, or having it inserted rectally.
