Hi @Vincent_Belrose


Yes, businesses can claim light refreshments as a business tax deduction for employees and clients on business premises.


Light refreshments can be finger food, sandwiches, biscuits, pastries ect, including tea and coffee.


You’ll need to keep Records for these types of business tax deductions to ensure your claims can be substantiated.
