A Finnish consulting company runs a product seminar for 40 clients, followed by an optional dinner. Eight employees attend as hosts. How should we split marketing and entertainment costs, assess VAT and income-tax deductions, and document the treatment?
Assess the seminar and dinner separately. Review the programme, audience and purpose. A substantive product seminar with ordinary refreshments can qualify as marketing; the social dinner afterwards can be entertainment. Do not apply one classification to the whole invoice.
Apply the tax rules to each cost category. VAT on entertainment is not deductible. Vero For business income tax, 50% of entertainment costs is deductible, while qualifying marketing costs are generally fully deductible. The guidance discusses this distinction through KHO 2013:63–65. Vero
Build the supporting record. Keep the invitation, agenda, participant list and itemised invoices. Record how shared costs were allocated and what the employees did as hosts. Their presence alone does not turn client entertainment into a staff event.
