psyclogical help? stress releaving?

Absolutely... it's called 'research'

HammerTime33 · 12-11-2004, 04:15 PM

As long as it was paid with a business CC or other means, and was used for a business, YES.

I have done it

NichePay_Manny · 12-11-2004, 04:57 PM

Yes u can !All you need to do write one check for total amount as a buss meeting to the strip club they will give you cash back to spend on the girls. That will show on youre books as a luncheon

Exactly, say it was a business dinner or lunch, you took a client to eat.

i imagine that if you are in the adult entertainment business you could make an argument for expensing lap dances as a paid talent trial, getting a receipt may be tough though

Shoehorn! · 12-11-2004, 11:06 PM

Sure you can, but you'll get audited the next day.

dosent really work that way

something like this would only be uncovered during an audit, it wont cause an audit

as long as your expenses are reasonable and you have good tax lawyers the worse that will happen is that the expense or part of it will be denied

GFED · 12-13-2004, 12:16 AM

So as long as I pay with a CC or check then it's feasible? It really is a business expense -- going to the club and trying to find models...

Drinks, dances, cover charge, everything? I was only thinking of writing off the dances... it's easier to talk to the girl when you're alone with her in the back...

You will be able to write off the industrial size bottle of Advil for all the headaches you will have hiring models from a strip club.

NO SHIT. if you spend 5 minutes thinking about why they are strippers in the first place, you would know why not to hire them.

Do it, just pray your not one of the lucky few that get audited at "random"

Dravyk · 12-13-2004, 11:46 PM

You don't even have to be in the industry for this!

Other companies that are have ZERO connection to the adult entertainment business take clients to restauraunts, clubs, and yes, strip joints. If they can do it, I'd say we have even greater justification! So yes, definitely it can be taken off as a biz expense.

Yes, if you can take bussiness clients. You can hold your company Christmas and meeting there too
