Your questions, in practice · Brazil
Can alcohol on a restaurant bill be reimbursed?
Apply local alcohol rules and company policy. Where a drink is permitted within a business meal, retain the itemised bill and purpose. Separate private consumption; permission to reimburse a drink does not by itself establish tax deductibility.
