Ubwino wa ntchito yoyeserera

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.

Pomwe opanga amapezeka

  • Zovala. The rule isn't "did I wear it for work" — it's whether the item is unsuitable for everyday wear. Ma costumes ndi mafilimu owonekeratu omwe amatulutsa mafilimu ndi otetezeka. Mapepala omwe mumawavalanso si otetezeka, komabe mwamsanga mumawagula kuti mugwiritse ntchito.
  • Kusamalira. M'malo mwake, amatsutsana ndi anthu, chifukwa kwa anthu ambiri ndi olimba kwambiri pamene akugwirizana ndi kujambula kokhako komanso mosadziwika bwino.
  • Zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito zosiyanasiyana. Phone yanu, internet yanu, apartment yanu. Kuyankha bizinesi yokhulupirika, si zonse. 100% kuyankha pafoni yanu yokha ndi chinthu chokhacho chosatheka kwa aliyense kuti afunse.

Omwe anthu amafuna

Kulipira kwa Agency, kuyankhulana ndi kulipira kwa olemba, ntchito zowononga, mtundu wa mapulogalamu, ndalama za accountant, chitetezo chabizinesi, milimita kuti mugwiritse ntchito, ndi kuwonongeka kwa zida zomwe mwagula zaka zapitazo ndipo simukugwiritsa ntchito - zonse zowonjezereka, zonse zomwe zimadziwika kuti zimalephera.

Kusunga ziphaso

Kuchotsa komwe simungathe kutsimikizira ndi kuchotsa komwe mudzawononga ngati wina aliyense akufuna. Kulandira, tsiku, ndalama, ndi mfundo imodzi yolemba pazofuna zabizinesi. "Amazon $ 340" ndi vuto; "wardrobe for 14 March shoot" sichingakhale.

Chotsani kuchita zimenezi m'maganizo anu mwezi uliwonse.

keep.fans imatsatira ndalama zanu pazinthu zonse zomwe zimapezeka pa intaneti ndipo zimasunga zonsezi mosasintha - zomwe mumasunga, zomwe mumalipira, komanso ngati mgwirizano wanu wa agency ndi wopanda kanthu kuposa momwe mumaganizira.
