You can actually rent your office to your "business".. it's just a percentage of your overheads for your house (power,mortgage/rent, etc) -- I think my office is about 5% of my house.. I can't use my office space for any other purpose so therefore it's a part of your house that the "business" should rent You can also claim half your phone line and if you have to travel to clients there's a per km rate for expenses. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
