Business expense write-off are legit if:
1) you truly require the item to conduct your business
2) you fairly assess what portion of the usage of that item benefits you personally and only claim the rest.
My other, related rule is that you should never be looser with your company's money than you would be with your own. Being frugal is prudent for both.
