It’s Saito♪ Women actually pay pretty close attention when you get a taxi receipt or ask for a receipt, without saying much. That said, since papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) isn’t about getting married, most people seem to think it doesn’t really matter either way… I’m not sure whether explaining it as “gathering information” for business expenses would work, though. There are some accountants among the members, so I’d like to ask them at the next meetup. However, wealthy people can get special tax investigators sent to them, so excuses like that won’t work at all—not just with交際クラブ. They’ll tell you, “The problem is that it looks suspicious.” So if you think, “This might be risky,” and consult your own accountant, you probably won’t run into trouble during an audit. Even if the company president ultimately takes responsibility, it’s the accountant who gets grilled. That said, plenty of people do claim these expenses, and I imagine many people expense their drinks at Ginza clubs and traditional teahouses too.
