There has been much press coverage recently on the clothes and cosmetic treatments of prominent politicians and their wives during the last general election campaign. Now I do not wish to appear churlish, but if my employer pays for a suit for me to wear then I am taxable on this as a benefit in kind. Likewise, travel costs when I go on holiday. Perhaps mainly for the purpose of ensuring that I sleep a little easier at night, can readers assure me that our leaders are treated in the same way for tax purposes? Or are my clients missing out on a tax relief?
