If that money is paid by a profitable company then its a 100% tax writeoff for advertising and marketing. So it wouldn't cost Turkington money personally. It would just be less money Turkington Holdings has to pay the tax man for company tax on their profits. Putting Turkington Holdings on the side of the car sounds like a good investment to me and is a lot better than sending that money to Alastair Darling!
