CPL Fee as Tax Write-Off
« on: August 23, 2010, 04:32:59 PM »
All,

Assuming one does itemized deductions, can one take a tax write off on CPL Fees.  Other license fees such as Driver's License and Car registration fees are tax deductible.  Does anyone know about a CPL fee?  If no one knows -- I can find a CPA to ask.

Anything I post may be my opinion and not the law... you are responsible to do your own verification.

Blackstone (1753-1765) maintains that "the law holds that it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

I used to have a "side-business" as a licensed "Nuisance Animal Control Business" and was able to write off my CPL class, the license, and the .22 pistol I used to dispatch those animals I trapped.

All CPL fees are tax deductible.  However, be ready to show with receipts, costs, and a necessity in the business.  The CPL is a tool, just like a saw, hammer, or other tool of any trade.
