Deductability

The comedian and former loose sherry drinker Frank Skinner paid 11,000 for a shirt that had been owned by Elvis Presley. The entertainer wore the garment on a number of occasions while performing or more making public appearances. His reason for doing so was so that he could claim his outlay against tax on the basis that he had purchased it as an item of stagewear.
