I would talk your accountant I had asked mine about the percentage you pay to the processor.He said since you never actually had it ,you cant deduct it.

So if you pay $10,000 to a processor... he told you that it's not a tax deductible expense? But you don't claim that amount because you've never had it?

But you would actually have it before it is deducted.

From what I understood just like the ccbill fees every month, since you don't actual take control of that money in your account etc, and then pay the fee you cannot write it off.

Haha, well that makes perfect sense actually. You're just reporting your net from the processor. If you reported the gross then you could deduct the fees, but your tax liability at the end of the year would be exactly the same.

Mr Pinks, all banking fees that are business related are tax deductible, including the load fees etc. You really should have an accountant though, a good one will pay for themselves 10 times over.
