Just a thought, but it's normal to have expenses which should be shown 
for P&L purposes, but are not allowable for tax deduction purposes.  
There may be a bunch of juristictional requirements on how to show this 
(I'm wondering if some people need to show it on the reports in two 
places?  Then it stops being a tree and becomes some kind of general 
directed graph...).
