Ripping local account and day traders apart is interesting.
FX trading is pretty dry - all of the fun has been bled out of it by sophisticated arbitrage models, and scale players driving spreads and margins to zero.

And yet FX market makers still have a real problem pricing deep OTM products accurately and being utterly buggered when a hedge fund takes a punt.
Hilarity ensues.

You need a better accountant then.
It doesn't matter how good your accountant is when you are the one having to pay back all the tax fraud.

hippy, some entertaining is allowed. If clients are present, then it is a business expense.
“Contractors can certainly claim expenses for business-related entertainment,” explains James Abbott, head of tax at contractor accountant Abbott Moore LLP. “However, their limited company won’t be able to claim corporation tax relief for entertainment-related costs.”
“But common sense should prevail; trying to claim for a £14,000 lunch is likely to draw unwelcome attention from HMRC.”

Hang on a minute I've got 2 screens at work and I'm not on a 6 figure salary << Doing it wrong.
I had 4 and my earnings didn't increase so I gave one away, called it salary sacrifice and pay £11000 less tax.

I just checked with our accountants. Although we are a "proper" company, lots of people, not a contractor's services company. If I take clients out*, and buy them luch, I can claim it, as an expense, and so can the company, against tax.
Your quote refers to contractors - are they and their companies subject to slightly different rules.

Generally you cannot claim back the VAT on business entertainment expenses.
Mixed business entertainment expenses and other business expenses
You can only reclaim VAT on the proportion of your expenses that are not used for business entertainment and are used for business purposes. For example, if you entertain employees and customers together, you may be able to reclaim VAT on the proportion of expenses that relate to employee entertainment - see the section in this guide on employee entertainment and expenses.
But you cannot reclaim any VAT at all if the sole purpose of the business entertainment is to entertain a non-employee - for example, if you or your employees act as a host to a non-employee.http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/managing/reclaiming/entertainment.htm#4
Then there's this which I can't make any sense of..
