Test

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.

Bejerijiler näçede çaklanýarlar

  • Eşik The rule isn't "did I wear it for work" — it's whether the item is unsuitable for everyday wear. Kostýmler we belli bir çekişmek üçin diňe parçalar goralyp bilner. Sizin hem geýýän köýnek, siz ony çekişmek üçin satyn alan bolsaňyzam, goralyp bilner.
  • _Göçür Bu öwrümler şahsy öwrümler bolup, köp adam üçin bu öwrümler şahsy öwrümlerdir. Bu öwrümler belli bir öwrüm bilen baglanyşdyrylanda iň güýçlüdir we adaty saklamagyň öwrümlerinden has güýçlüdir.
  • Miskeşlenç ullanyş elementler Telefonyňyz, internetiňiz, jaýyňyz. Bu işiň diňe bir bölegini talap ediň, ählisini däl. Telefonyňyzyň 100%-ini talap etmek, her kimiň soramagy üçin iň aňsat zat.

Adamlar

Aşakdan talap etmek köplenç aşakdan talap etmekden has ýaramaz. Agentlik komissiýasy, söhbetçi we redaktor tölegleri, ýykylan hyzmatlar, şu tip programma üpjünçiligi, hasapçy tölegleri, iş sığortasy, surata almak üçin ýol, we siziň ýyllar öň satyn alan we hala ulanýan enjamlaryňyzyň gymmaty — ählisi aýrylmaz, ählisi aňsat unudylan.

Kagyzlary sakla

Bir öwürmek, eger kimdir bir sorasa, siz öwürjeksiňiz. Alnan, wagt, mukdar, we bir hat iş maksat barada. "Amazon $340" bir meseledir; "wardrobe for 14 March shoot" däl.

Her aý bu işi başyňda etmän dur.

keep.fans her bir platformada siziň girdäňizi gözleýär we bularyň ählisini otomatiki ýagdaýda täzeläp saklaýar - siziň hakykatda saklaýan zadyňyz, siziň borçludygyňyz we agentlik şertnamanyň siziň pikir edşiňizden has köp çykdajy edip biljekdigi.
