2. Collection agency costs are reasonable, and for the purpose of earning business
income, thus are deductible.
3. Charitable donations are not deductible, instead they are eligible for the calculation
of credits against taxes payable.
5. Convention cost for Dr. Sweet is deductible; if Mr. Sweet's attendance is connected
with a business purpose (he does work in the company) then their portion would be
deductible as well. All meals are deductible at 50%.
6. Membership fees are not deductible, but court time with patients would constitute
entertainment, and is 50% deductible.
7. Accounting and legal fees relating to the reassessment are deductible; however
interest on late payments is not.
8. Lottery tickets are not deductible; earnings would not be taxable either though.
