X type - Off topic section
Tax question:
I was on the eliptical at my gym the other night and overheard two personal trainers talking. Apparently, there is some sort of tax deduction for using any gym nationwide right now; some sort of get in shape incentive.
Now, I've never heard of this. I've heard of health insurance companies giving money back, but a tax deduction? I haven't had much time to look it up, and was wondering if any tax gurus knew anything about this.
Thanks.

The obesity rate in the US is gettin outta hand and causing real problems in all walks of life. I saw a programme on it the other day. We shouldn't be too complacent over here cos as with everything else we are catching up fast.
Probably a health tax...........wouldn't surprise me if we were to get sumthin like that over here, we get taxed to death on just about everythin[&:]

Thanks Dennis, FJT.
It is the off topic section FJT.........albeit within the X type section. As this is the section I frequent more than any other it seemed logical

Rangers 0 Panathaniakos 0 [&:]
Could be worse I guess. All we have to do now is go there and a score draw would be enough to progress

Next Thursday.....C'mon the Teddy Bears
