For Business Owners, a business trip are often a valuable tool and write-down. Typically, however, the business owner gets to tax time and finds out there's giant liabilities due.
Then the wheels start turning. "What other deductions have Chris Virgin missed? Oh yes, the family vacation!" Thoughts address the family vacation and the way it may well be construed to be a business trip. The reality is that unless you conducted business, after the very fact is simply too late.
It is possible to mix a business trip and family vacation, but there are belongings you should do right to form legal. Every summer there are seminars and work-related trips to be taken and it's fine to require your family along. Bear in mind that only the business a part of your trip is tax-deductible.
