Accountant Rachel Harris succesfully argued the first-of-its-kind case and is now guiding others.

She said: “These rules were made when people didn’t create the content they do now.”

Tory MP Alexander Stafford, who also sits on the business committee, said: “I feel sure most taxpayers won’t be happy to learn that tax allowances are being used in this way.

“It is entirely right to review this loophole . . . as soon as possible.”

The tax break was initially reported in 2003 when an anonymous radio broadcaster successfully argued he needed straightened teeth to land a job in TV.

But the rule change also applied to facelifts, Botox injections, breast implants and teeth whitening.

Average costs for a boob job are between £3,500 and £8,000, according to the NHS.

HMRC said: “It’s very unlikely that a non-health-related operation would be an allowable expense.”
