Summer is coming around, I'm starting to plan my next vacation...

...and I am going to share a little secret.

You might have tried all the tricks in the book, but I'm sure you haven't tried making your VACATION TAX DEDUCTIBLE.



For example, you fly with your spouse
(aka your business partner) to Orlando to scout and purchase a rental condominium.

Since this is a business trip, you can deduct the cost of all business expenses, like travel, lodging, and services.
Ordinary and necessary expenses are tax deductible, and that's why you can deduct the cost of expenses incurred while looking for new property.


It wouldn't matter if you spent some time walking on the beach or even if you made a stop at Disney World, just as long as more than half the time you spent away on travel was spent doing business; and the primary cause for travel was business.
Obviously you can't just write off your hotel and travel to Disney World just because you're thinking about buying Cinderella's Castle. Be sure to consult with a professional.

Yes, I like Orlando too, but those pictures are definitely not from Orlando.

The top one is from the Sonaisali Island Resort in Fiji - my favorite place to vacation.

The island on the right is a canoe ride away.
