Sorry for the Murdoch rag, but I thought we could do with a trashy article to lighten things up a bit. Anyone else claimed depreciation on a boob job or the family pet?

We had a meeting with our new accountants recently and she was saying that she had a client who was a builder who tried to claim his new spa pool.
- Any idea how they tried to justify that? Like did they just think anything they built should be deductable, of was it more "I have a hard job and I need it to relax" type argument?
  
  They argued they used it for entertaining potential clients. (I know, right!)
  
  Oh yeah, of course. I always insist on hopping in the spa with any a new builder.🤣
  
  Haha. Might have had more success with trying to claim it was a demo model to show prospective clients.
