Ken Clarke has now issued his much awaited guidelines. The good news is that the concerns over corporate entertainment seem to have been clarified. Moved by a concerted campaign by business and in particular the evening standard newspaper for clarity- common sense is set to apply. “Bona fide hospitality.. or other.. expenditure which…improves the image of a business or better .presents… products/services, or build relations” -will not be caught by the Act.
