6 Steps To Deduct My Vacations On My Small Business Taxes

My small business taxes will be reduced this year and every year when my family takes a vacation. With a home based travel business I am able to take advantage of many tax deductions.

1. Take Pictures And Make Videos Through a home based travel business I can hire my family to perform services while on vacation. We can make videos and take pictures of our various vacation spots.

2. Hire Your Child For An Itinerary. Natalie is 12 and loves to make arrangements. Hence, I will hire her to do the vacation itinerary. My only instructions are to choose places that are fun and that will provide an excellent back drop to our pictures and videos. Since she is almost a teenager fun is her middle name.

3. Who Do You Call? After the trip itinerary is completed my wife puts a call into Travelencia. Here she makes all the arrangements. Our credit card stays in our wallets because Travelencia has 0% layaway financing.

4. We Need A Grip. A grip is the name given to the individuals on a movie set who are in charge of the equipment. I will hire Joseph (14) and Joshua (10) for this job. They will be in charge of the video and camera equipment. They will need to make sure the batteries are charged and everything is in good working order.

5. Next YouTube.com. With simple software that we all have access to the videos and pictures will be prepared for the internet. YouTube.com is free and an excellent marketing tool. We will all work together to edit and add our contact information.

6. Internet Marketing. The Infinite Potential Forum is free to join with no monthly fees. Here I post a link in the “Support My Marketing Efforts” section. Traffic is created which leads to new sign ups in our home based travel business.

Everyone should have a small business for no other reason than to have more deductions. Hiring your family and structuring taking planning but is not difficult.
