canadian webmasters... tax question
 

... i woke up this morning, and I had a random thought:

Can I deduct the paypal charges (the portion they take from each payment transaction) as a business expense?

I'm a designer, so I have clients paying me that way.

and yes, yada yada yada, I know none of you are tax specialists, so I wont 100% go by your advice... but, im just curious. Thoughts?

thanks and :321GFY

i do not see why not.. its similar to a bank fee and can be considered an expense.

As long as you are running a legitimate business you can write off all of those fees, etc, given it pertains to the nature of your business "directly" and in this case, it would!

Yes, I am canadian eh!

Can I test my sig here ?
