Claming Language Course as a business expense?

Hi Everyone,

I had a question for a helpful tax guru...

IF I have my own company and need to learn a language because as part of my job I spend a significant amount of time working with another company overseas who speak another language as their mother tongue would this be classed as a business expence I can claim for?

Thanks for your advice!

    Training courses are valid expenses to claim against your profit.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
