Immediately prior to the commencement of the conference Tom’s wife leaves him
and their three children because of his drinking after work with his old rugby
friends. Tom hires a housekeeper to look after his three children while he is at the
conference. At the conference Tom receives complimentary rugby tickets for a
match on the same day as the conference ball. At the conference ball Tom
becomes inebriated and streaks across the ballroom floor because it seemed like a
good idea at the time. The ITLA cannot ignore Tom’s disregard for professional
behavior and holds an inquiry into Tom’s fitness to remain a member of the
ITLA. It is essential to be an ITLA member to obtain work from transnational
corporations operating in Brisbane which is Tom’s entire practice. Tom hires
Jenny to defend him at the inquiry. Because of the inquiry Tom is fined
$10,000 for streaking at the ball.
Tom seeks your advice as to the deductibility of these expenses.
