If there is no other alternative than to hold a meeting outside the office, only similar basic provisions would be allowable. Hospitality provided following a meeting will not meet the strict business purpose test and neither will hospitality involving the provision of alcohol. Taking a customer to a restaurant is very likely to lead to a private use charge. The list is not exhaustive. However, it is intended to identify the main ways in which businesses provide entertainment. There is usually a private benefit when business entertainment is provided. However, in cases where the expenditure is necessary and for strict business purposes, the private use may be ignored. Hospitality provided because it would be polite, because it is expected, or because it would improve relationships is not for strict business purposes. Furthermore according to Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie an English Egyptologist and a pioneer of systematic methodology in archaeology and preservation of artefacts the above association is accurate since the margin of error one would be dealing with in determining the base length of the structure would be about 1 / 4000 of the actual distance itself:

Where you lied about your age to get on and frequently rearranged your "top friends" lists accordingly. 14. Abercrombie models Under the World Geodetic System 84 (WGS84 Earth Model), we understand that the elliptical arc length separation between the structure itself and the equator of the planet is equal to 10885784.94485787 feet. In addition, the established measure for the base-line length of the structure has been determined to be 755.7875 feet. By dividing the two values = 10885784.94485787 / 755.7875 we obtain 14403.23496, a value nearly identical to 1/10th of 144000, which is the number of casing stones that originally formed the Great Pyramid of Giza when the structure was built.A business might make a taxable charge for providing entertainment at significantly below cost. Where there is a taxable charge HMRC will look at each case on its own facts. See Ernst & Young at VIT64300.

For VAT purposes entertainment can take many forms. Here are some examples of costs which are regarded as entertainment or the provision of hospitality: With the above established, one may note that a perfect ratio of 1 / 14400 under the WGS84 model may be had for the pyramid, quite well within the margin of error as outlined by Petrie: The ancient Egyptians believed in powerful magic – hekau, from which we get the word hex – that had been handed down to them from the time of the gods. And magic, as that unusually open-minded Egyptologist Christian Jacq observes, “was understood as a creative force… Each magic act is, by definition, an act of creation with its roots deep in the beginning of the world. The magician remakes as it was in the beginning, he places ‘the first time’ in the present.” Any sufficiently advanced technology,” Arthur C. Clarke is famously on record as suggesting, “is indistinguishable from magic.” It’s an intriguing thought, especially when we apply it to a great civilization of high antiquity such as ancient Egypt which achieved extraordinary “technological” feats that in many cases we do not know how to replicate today. When we look at the Great Pyramid of Giza, for example, weighing six million tons, occupying a ground area of more than 13 acres, standing 480 feet high, aligned to within just three-sixtieths of a single degree of true north and positioned on latitude 30 (one third of the way between the equator and the north pole), it’s natural to wonder whether something rather mysterious – some force, energy or skill that we don’t understand – could have been at work in its construction. The casing stones of the Great Pyramid of Giza might be the answer to many questions about this majestic monument. According to researchers, to understand the harmonic link between the Great Pyramid of Giza and our planet we have to look at the casing stones of the Great Pyramid. The ancient builders of the Great Pyramid wanted to represent the structure in such harmony that they sought out and created a correlation between the structure to both the Earth form and earth frequencies; and the orbital frequency of the planet in terms of the number of days in the tropical year.However, if the employee is working away from their normal place of business and incurs subsistence expenses the input tax on their meal can be dealt with using the guidance in Notice 700 Section 12 (link is external). Input tax cannot be claimed if the business trip is made solely for the purpose of business entertainment. Input tax can be claimed on the employee’s meal if the business entertainment is only secondary to the business carried out. Egyptologists are aware of all this but seek to deny its significance, refusing to see any “technology” in the pyramid-earth ratio, which they regard as “a number arrived at quite accidentally.” They can hardly do otherwise since the reference frame through which they view history allows no place for the possibility that the ancient Egyptians could have had the necessary technology to measure the dimensions of the earth. Yet the problem refuses to go away because just as the pyramid appears to have been placed at a significant, rather than random, planetary latitude so too the number 43,200 relates to a key characteristic of our planet, namely the slow precessional wobble of the axis of the earth which occurs at the rate of 1 degree every 72 years. The number 43,200 is exactly 600 X 72.

If normal basic food and refreshments such as sandwiches and soft drinks are provided in your office during a meeting to enable the meeting to proceed without interruption, then a private use charge will not apply.The restriction on the recovery of input tax is not changed if some of the employees of the business are also entertained. None of the input tax can be claimed when employees act as hosts to non-employees and help entertain the non-employee.

It is easy to worry and focus on the things going wrong rather than the things going right. When we worry, we are draining ourselves, leaving us tired and weary. And that is exactly what the devil wants. He whispers in our ears all the negative aspects of a day, which can easily lead to anxiety and worry. Be strong and try to focus on the positive things. It’s better to focus on at least one positive thought amongst a thousand negative ones instead of focusing wholly on the negative.

In 1988 UK law was amended. The restriction was widened to cover all business entertainment, including that provided to overseas customers. This change aligned VAT law with changes introduced in relation to direct tax. The restriction was withdrawn in November 2010 following a review of the UK’s input tax restriction on business entertainment.
