Art purchase as a legitimate tax deduction

TAX DEDUCTION

Work place is an environment that requires artworks on premises to be attractive, this includes business and home office locations. The addition of the artwork to any office space makes office environment healthier and more attractive. Beyond enhancing almost any type of decor, artworks can be also viable and profitable investment.  Art purchases can bring Tax deduction and also some expenditures can qualify for a tax deduction.

In many cases an art purchase can be considered a business expense or a write off. A typical business owner can spend reasonable amounts of money on artwork for the workplace and expect to be able to take advantage of a comparable tax write off.

Common tax deduction when Buying and selling art

There are instances in which a person who buys or sells artwork can take advantage of tax deductions and write offs. The most commonly used 'write offs' that relates to artworks involves a deduction when a person sells a work of art that has dropped in value since the initial purchase. The seller may qualify for a 'tax deduction' or 'write off' based on the difference in value of the artwork. Business tax advantages are changed regularly so verify it with your accountant.

Loan in art purchase can reduce Tax bill

A LOAN can reduce your tax bill, the interest of your loan is deductible also, the Expenses related to the loan like (advertising, agent commission, improvement, cleaning, repair restoration, framing, insurance, legal fees on the purchase as well as the sale, travel expenses). If you decide to rent your art then your expenses may be claimed from the date the art investment first became available for rent.

Interior Design

If you are involved in interior design and you purchase artwork with the idea of using it on behalf of a client, that purchase normally will be considered a legitimate business expense. Therefore, you likely will be able to write off or deduct the cost of such artwork from your profits. Keep in mind that when you use the artwork in a decorating project, or when you sell the artwork to a client, any money you earn for that sale above and beyond what you paid for the artwork originally will be considered income for your business.

Although there are ways in which artwork can be used as a means to obtain a tax write off or deduction, the primary focus of purchasing, selling or trading in art cannot be tax-related. There are ways in which purchasing, holding and ultimately selling art can be a solid investment plan. However, in the majority cases, significant tax write off associated with art ownership is not an essential element of that type of investment.
