Is a guard dog still tax deductible?

[Jon Bateson]

Any accounting genius tell me if I can offset a guard dog against tax ??

 

[Jon Bateson]

She is fierce

 

[telectrix]

she is gorgeous, but can't see her guarding even her dinner from a cat.

 

[Jon Bateson]

She’s called tie wrap due to her tendency to collapse prematurely

What make is it?

 

[Jon Bateson]

Shitzu, I wanted a German Shepard but apparently my missy’s reckoned this was a compromise

 

[Zerax]

She is fierce

If she's used 'wholly and exclusively' for business purposes, then yes... but if she provides you with anything else... then I'd pro-rata.

That’s how compromise works in my house as well....

 

[buzzlightyear]

IF WHOLLY USED FOR WORK, AND YOU CAN MAKE THAT CASE, THEN YES IT IS DEDUCTIBLE..oops, sorry for shouting!
However, if you buy it a fancy coat...that would probably not be allowed as it is just "dressing"...unless you are working in sub-zero conditions.

While on this subject, however...a dog you pick from a dog's home is a rescued dog...ie, a dog you actually plucked from desperate circumstances and gave a good home to...that makes you look kind...
I stress this..."rescueD", not a "rescue" dog...
A St. Bernard with a barrell of brandy round its neck is a "rescue" dog...

You could become a dog breeder.
Then all the food and vet bills become tax deductible.
