I think you will find armies of accountants advising businesses of the items of personal spending that can be put through the business's books. That way the VAT can be offset.

I used to know someone who asked friends to retain any receipts they got, so he could pass them on to his accountant to see if they could go through his company's books...people who had absolutely nothing to do with the company!

He's long since dead, by the way!
