Are Personal Orders Considered a Business Expense?

[jesusluvsu2005]

Are they tax deductible when it says personal order? I wasn't sure. Thanks!
God bless,

P.S. I'm meaning when we place our own personal orders through P3.

I don't know for sure, but I was assume yes, since you will be using the products for both personal and business.

Anything you buy (even if added to a Show order) for yourself as long as you will be using it to prepare a recipe anywhere is considered a business expense! Don't forget when you use your family as "guinea pigs" to taste a new recipe, the groceries are tax deductible too!

Oh DUH!!! I didn't even think about that! I gotta go find that recipe from tonight!

When we do grocery shopping, if it is recipe ingredients, it is rung up separately! My DD sits down with the PC cookbooks and recipes and picks out what we are doing for the week then we shop! Good food...tax deductible...gas is too don't forget!!

I need to remember this......I forget sometimes and this would help us eat better too.

I'm not sure about this - I guess since taxes and PC are seperate that works. I thought, at least at one time, there was some sort of regulation agains adding personal orders to shows which would make it hard to claim on taxes. But since the two aren't connected in any way, I guess that would be right.
