The lovely BBC presenter Sian Williams has been fighting HM Revenue and Customs over her £4,500 annual bill for clothes, dry-cleaning and hairdressing even though she needs to look smart when presenting the news.
Though Miss Williams is most demonstrably smart, she failed to convince a tax tribunal judge that she needs to spend this amount, ‘wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the performance of the employment duties’, and so lost her claim for a £1,800 tax deduction.
As part of her claim, Miss Williams said that she would be happy to ready the news naked. However, a spokesman later said, ‘There is no danger of her actually presenting naked.’
What a disappointment!
