Makes me smile. More power to you, but if I follow the logic you want the Canadian taxpayers to help subsidize your hobbying as a business expense.:eek:

You could buy gift cards and say you hand them out to your customers as christmas presents. You hand out maybe 4 or 5 to real customers. For the rest you find a SP who would accept them. If you get audited you say you hand them out to some customers. If they want to confirm give them the names of the 4 or 5 customers.

You think auditors will let you choose what they audit?

For companies with Leaf tickets, auditors will ask to see a list of games and the clients who they gave the tickets too.

They will pick the customers to check, not you.
Yes, but are you required to keep track of all the gift cards you give out?

It's like Molson Canadian having to keep track of who they give out all their T-Shirts? Granted it's only 20 bucks a shirt or so, but it adds up if you give away 1000s of shirts.

Good luck with that...lol. They probably already have your name and social insurance number linked to this post, along with a note to check your file next year.

That's a slippery slope. As noted, there's no legal way to do this.
since it is a legal activity there is no problem writing it off as a business expense as long as it is used to garner customers or for customers. This is no different than taking them to dinner or the theatre or ???

The illegal way is to use a credit card and on most, they write blahblah limosine. Now this would only be a reasonable business expense if you needed to take a limosine to say,the airport or again, take customers out for a night on the town.....

ummm we're paying for all sorts of perqs by executives all the time. Not to mention government employee's perqs (like the one who was caught obtaining x number of blackberrys and then selling them on ebay) or the one who was taking vacations to the dominican republic.

Or how about that head of Ontario Hydro who was caught embezzling, was fired, and was also given a golden parachute worth millions.....

Or how about the thousands of welfare cases who get a cheque and buy crack, beer, wine, booze with it?

Or how about the thousands of welfare cases who get a cheque AND work under the table?

Dude, you have to relax, if the little guy doesn't take whatever he can why should the big boys only get the goods?

To which section of the Income Tax Act (Canada) do you refer?

TBoy, CRA says no. I can post a link to the IT. (I thought that it was deductible myself).
The IT is probably correct.

First, seeing an outcall escort is immoral, but not illegal. So actually seeing an escort should not give rise to any prohibition.

But what you would be doing be arranging escorts for clients is pimping them the girls. Indictable offence pursuant to s.212(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.

There is a general "public policy" prohibition under the law against allowing the wayward citizen to take advantage of his criminal acts in any way. For instance, no small claims court judge will ever enforce a dealer's drug collection against a defaulting junkie with a judgment or garnishment.

I would think that the IT simply applies that same general legal policy to disallow your deductions for the expenses of supplying whores for your clients.

However, the IT specifies that services of an illicit nature (such as esorting), is NOT deductible.
Escorting is perfectly legal under certain circumstances. Who can name the 4 prohibited activities related to prostitution?

However, the escort will have to declare the income if she issues receipts.

I knew a working girl who escorted, who set herself up as a independent contractor / office tempt. She gave receipts, accepted an a invoice for service rendered! Had her own cc machine.
