Admission tickets in relation to a specific event you put on for the whole company - Remember you are allowed to invite a partner along as well.

The costs can include food, drink, tickets to events, accommodation and a taxi fare home.

You can claim £150 (including VAT) per head on a Christmas party or annual staff event as a tax-free benefit. Your employees are also allowed to invite a partner which gives you £300 to play with.

Don't forget you're allowed to spend more on the event obviously, but just keep in mind the amount over £150 per head will be treated as a benefit in kind and taxed accordingly.

Unless it is the annual staff party make sure you check the trivial benefit rules before reporting onto your PSA/P11D.
