HC Deb 14 May 1968 vol 764 c218W
35. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what tax allowances are available to firms whose marketing staff spend much of their time overseas working on export orders; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Harold Lever

The salaries and expenses of overseas marketing staff, including reasonable expenditure on entertaining overseas customers, are allowed as deductions in computing the profits of a trade for tax purposes.
