One of the most common justifications we get from independent consultants and solopreneurs for creating and maintaining their own company are the tax advantages of being able to deduct business expenses.
As the boss of your own business unit in Free Agent Source, you get the tax advantage of deducting normal business expenses here too:
| BUSINESS EXPENSE | FAS REIMBURSEMENT POLICY |
| Mobile phone and monthly bill? | yes |
| iPad and mobile data plan? | yep |
| LinkedIn premium, DropBox, YouSendIt and other software subscriptions? | definitely |
| Computer and Software? | sure |
| Meal expenses for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee with clients? | affirmative |
| Travel expenses to client meetings, trade shows and training? | go |
| Mileage reimbursement or maintenance for car used on business? | can do |
| Trade show registration fees? | do it |
| Professional association membership dues and events? | gotta network |
