Actually, it doesn't come back to you in the end. If you discount a service via a coupon or "gift certificate" or give a service away for a donation....the products you use are deductible as a business expense, but time is not a deductible expense. I have talked extensively with two accountants on this subject. Mary Jo Zwirowski Tipz n Toez, Ltd. ~ www.tipzntoezltd.com Naperville, IL
It comes back to you in your taxes, if you keep each of the coupons, or discounts and give it to your accountant it's a write off so it shouldn't really hurt you too much...I find it helps me out better on my books in the long run cause most of my clients give it back to me and still don't want the discount...so not only did I get the coupon back for taxes but they didn't even use it...double the pleasure! I always put a 3 month expiration on them to so they don't use them right away and sometimes they even forget all about it and when they do find it, it's already expired so sorry! Anything you do or give to your clients is a wonderful idea cause really and honestly we are working for ourselves and don't receive a paycheck as most of our clients do they have a steady income as most of us don't...so if you give them $1 or a small bottle of oil it's all about the jester and the thought that really counts!

Anna, your coupon is awesome. I gave 5.00 off one year, but realized it hurt me in the pocket book in January. Should have saved that money I would have spent on presents for January. LOLO I remember one poor tech on the list, that gave away a free fill-in to all of her clients for Christmas, and she was sooooooooo hurting financially in January.........diana from indiana -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
