Marsha,
I think what she is saying is that the honest people are already paying
their taxes and doing their part but NOW they will have to change their ways
of buying and do MORE paperwork, thus they are the ones getting screwed.
That was how I took that sentance.
Also for those of you on the
Since you only need bank statements now for taxes - you no longer need
receipts, I always always use my business debit card, its my receipt.
At the end of the year I go through bank statements, highlight all the
business purchases and can easily add up everything spent. I rarely
use checks
Rhonda,
I'm not sure what bank you go through that has this policy on credit
card theft. I've had BofA and and a local bank and both do exactly
the opposite. ANY time you notice a charge that is not yours, call
and they will reverse it immediately and then do a fraud
investigation. I've had
Most upcharge $5-20 from a manicure for a gel manicure. I charge $50
for gel manicure but it includes removal. If it soaks off easy and
they can do it at home, maybe take off a few $. You should base what
you charge on time and product cost.
As for fills, solid colors should always be removed
I understand what you are saying Rhonda. But the whole damn system is
convoluted. Unfortunately, the government is forced to devise more convolution
in an attempt to collect the taxes due from those who can easily get away with
avoiding payment. I guess it's just life here in the U.S. :)
Jess,
You must have a good bank because I just checked the fine print of both the
bank and credit union that I use here in PA and both state in their Terms
and Agreements that DEBIT card funds aka checking account funds will be
released once the investigation is complete, usually within 90 days.
I add $15 to the manicure cost of $20. I have a client who comes only in
summer
when she is here from Chicago. She pays me $65 which is what her tech in
Chicago
charges. I thought that gesture was very interesting.and appreciated, of
course!

99% alcohol is used to wipe the sticky layer when using gels and can also be

Using a lower percentage of alcohol can make it appear dull.
