In The Netherlands, if you are a business owner, you can have \u201cgolf lessons\u201d deducted from your yearly revenue and, accordingly, not be taxed for them (i.e. business expenses do not count as income). The justification for this is that golf lessons and playing golf afford the business owner networking opportunities and potential business development. However, you cannot deduct any child care costs, even though without child care, people wouldn\u2019t be able to do business to begin with.<\/p>\n
I suppose this is yet another reminder of who rules the business world around these parts and whose \u201cnetworking opportunities\u201d and costs of doing business should be protected.
