In our previous video, we have mentioned that a taxpayer who is self-employed or having business or practicing his profession may be allowed to deduct certain items from his gross business income to arrive at net taxable income subject to income tax. The taxpayer may choose between a) Itemized Deductions or b) Optional Standard Deduction.

In this video, we discuss the tax rules when claiming itemized deductions particularly an expense. An expense is anything that costs the taxpayer to spend money to generate revenues. The expenses allowed by our Tax Law to be deducted from the gross income may include:

1. Salaries and Wages paid to Employees which includes bonuses, de minimis, fringe benefits, other similar remunerations;
2. Travel expenses incurred in relation to the conduct of business or trade or practice of profession;
3. Rental Expenses paid to lessors of property leased;
4. Entertainment, Amusement and Recreation Expenses which are incurred for the development, management or operation of the business;
5. Materials and Supplies used in the conduct of business;
6. Utilities, Telecommunication, and Internet Expenses;
7. Repairs and Maintenance; and
8. Such other expenses incurred which necessary, ordinary and duly substantiated.

As a general rule, all expenses claimed for deduction for income taxation purposes must be NECESSARY, ORDINARY, and SUBSTANTIATED, otherwise, these expenses cannot be allowed for deduction.
