Ko te whakamātautau e pā ana ki te āhua o te āhua

A business expense has to be ordinary (normal for your line of work) and necessary (helpful and appropriate for it). That's a broad standard, and most of what creators spend money on clears it comfortably. The problems come from three specific places.

I reira ka pā ki nga kaihanga

• Kākahu. The rule isn't "did I wear it for work" — it's whether the item is unsuitable for everyday wear. Ko nga kākahu me nga wāhanga whakaahua mārama anake e ārai ana. He kākahu e mau ai hoki, kāore, engari i te tino pono i hokona e koe mō te whakaahuatanga.
• Ka whakawhanakehia. I whakamātautautia te āhua o te tangata, nā te mea ko te nuinga o te tangata, he kaha rawa atu i te wā e hono ana ki tētahi pūwhitinga motuhake, ā, e kitea ana i waho o te pupuritanga noa iho.
• Ko ngā ahanoa whakamahi whāranu. Ko tōna tāruatanga, ko tōna Ipurangi, ko tōna whare, e kī ana i te wāhanga o te umanga pono, ehara i te katoa. Ko te kīanga 100% i runga i tōna tāruatanga anake te mea ngāwari rawa mo tētahi tangata ki te pātai.

Ko nga mea e ngaro ana te iwi

Ko te tikanga he kino ake te whakatūtū i te whakatūtū i te whakatūtū, te utu o te kaikōrero me te kaituhituhi, ngā ratonga whakawātea, tēnei momo pūmanawa, ngā utu pūrongo, te whakatūnga umanga, te mātauranga ki te whakataki, me te whakawāteatanga i ngā taonga i hokona e koe i nga tau ki mua, ā, ka whakamahia tonutia - ko te katoa o ngā mea e taea te tango, ko te katoa o ngā mea e mōhiotia ana.

Whakataki i te pepa

Ko te whakaiti kāore e taea e koe te whakaatu, he whakaiti ka ngaro koe mēnā ka pātai mai tētahi tangata. Te whiwhinga, te rā, te nui, me te tuhipoka-wairangi kotahi mo te take o te umanga. "Amazon $340" he raruraru; "te kākahu mo te whakataki o te 14 o Māhuru" kāore.
