Question: Are entertainment expenses incurred at places such as night clubs, theaters, sporting events, or on yachts or fishing trips, disallowed under the rules if the expenses are incurred solely for business purposes?

Answer: Not necessarily. If the taxpayer can show the entertainment took place directly before or after a substantial and bona fide business discussion, the cost of entertaining would not generally be disallowed by the rules.

Question: What is a substantial and bona fide business discussion?

Answer: Whether a business discussion is substantial and bona fide depends upon the facts and circumstances of each case. However, it must be shown that a taxpayer actively engaged in a business discussion, meeting, convention or other bona fide business transaction, other than entertainment, to obtain income or some other business benefit.
