Businesses claim theirs. I don't get why this is odd. This isn't for employees?

Employees can now do this too
If you spend £100 on a christmas meal you essentially get back 20%(or whatever the rate of tax is), you don't get the whole £100 back
Edit: Maximum amount is £150 per person
What about reclaiming tax on the cost of staff entertainment?
When it comes to your employees, the cost of food and drink - whether it's free-of-charge or provided at a subsidy - can be deducted for tax purposes under the following conditions:
An annual event is held, and is open to all members of staff
The cost per head is no more than £150 including VAT

I guess if you have to go and it's a work function that's fair. And the social pressure to go even if it's not technically demanded is pretty high. Seems reasonable.
