I particularly like the "donation" angle. Let me take it one step further...if the organization is a 501C3, Joyce might actually be able to write off the difference as a charitable contribution. Not sure if this is possible tax-wise, but might be worth a check.<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 21 Apr 2007 by GREAT_ATLANTIC</p> <hr /><a name="a6709_26"></a><p><b>From: ACJ (LADYCUTTER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6709.26">#26</a>]<br /> 24 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>My first estimate for a memory wall of corian bricks was seriously underpriced and I chalked it up to learning expense. I asked my accountant if I could write it off the engraving as a donation and was told that I could not, unless I paid someone else to do it. Since I don't pay myself a salary it is not considered a true cost. </p> <p>However, because of other factors I recently reworked the current invoice to show the difference between what I should have charged and what I am charging as a discount. The bottom line is the same, but it shows the customer why I am not giving a lower charge on the non-engraved blanks that they need for fill. </p> <p>I think by listing it this way I can write it off as a discount expense. Still have to check on that with my accountant.</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6709.1">1-2</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6709.3">3-22</a>  23-26</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
