Does Your Business have a Website? If so, you may be entitled to certain tax deductions

Whether you are planning to start a new business or looking to advertise your existing business, having a website is a good marketing strategy. It’s also a good tax planning strategy if you’re looking to reduce taxable income. Developing a functional website may be difficult, but taking the tax deduction is easy.

Just keep track of the following expenses:

  • Computers and peripherals, including monitor, mouse, keyboard and printer. Note whether it is new or used, so bonus depreciation can be taken if eligible.
  • Internet and phone charges.
  • Consultant fees (an expert can be helpful for a quick set-up and thoughtful design).
  • Domain registration fees.
  • Web hosting fees
  • (monthly or annual).
  • Software used to develop and maintain the site.

And who knows, you just might save enough to Grow Your Business!
