Three questions determine if a business purchase is tax-deductible: Is it ordinary and necessary? Does it help run or grow the business? Does it improve team or client experience? Laptops, software, conferences, and client lunches qualify. Boats typically don't.
Can you write off your brand new boat? Well, that depends. Ask yourself these 3 questions. Number 1: Is it ordinary and necessary for your business?

The business course you bought, the conference you flew to, that coach you hired, all deductible. Number 3: Does it improve your team or client experience? The lunch you went to with a client, the gift card you sent a customer, your employee benefits, write it all off.
