Uvavanyo oluya kusetyenziselwa

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.

Iindawo apho abavelisi befumana khona

• Iimpahla. The rule isn't "did I wear it for work" — it's whether the item is unsuitable for everyday wear. Ii-costumes kunye nezinto ezicacileyo ezisetyenziselwa ukutyhala kuphela zikhuselekile. I-dress oyisebenzisayo nayo ayikhuselekanga, nokuba uthenge ntoni na ngokunyanisekileyo ukutyhala.
• Ukugquma. Iinwele zihlala zixhaphake kakhulu njengezibini, kuba abantu abaninzi baziva ngathi zinamandla kakhulu xa zidityanisiwe nento ekhethekileyo ephumayo kwaye zicacile ngaphandle kokugcina okuqhelekileyo.
• Izinto ezisetyenziswa ngokudityaniswa. Ifowuni yakho, i-intanethi yakho, igumbi lakho. Ufuna inxalenye elungileyo yeshishini, hayi yonke into. Ufuna i-100% kwifowuni yakho kuphela, into elula kakhulu yokuba umntu abuze ngayo.

Iinkqubo

I-commission ye-ejensi, i-chatter kunye ne-editor payments, iinkonzo zokutyhala, le nkqubo yekhompyutha, i-accounting fees, i-inshurensi yeshishini, i-mileage ukuya ku-shooting, kunye nokunciphisa ixabiso lezixhobo ozithengise iminyaka edlulileyo kwaye uhlala uzisebenzisa - zonke ezilahlekileyo, zonke eziqhelekileyo zilahlekileyo.

Ukugcina i-paperwork

Ukukhupha imali ongakwazi ukulibonisa kukukhupha imali oza kuyilahla ukuba umntu ucela. Ukufumana imali, umhla, inani, kunye nomhlathi omnye wolwazi malunga nenjongo yomsebenzi. "IAmazon $340" yingxaki; "i-wardrobe ye-14 ka-Matshi" ayiyiyo.
