In general, a payment is deductible if it is done to gain or create revenue from a business, is not on account of capital, is not a personal cost, and is fair in the circumstances. In addition to all of the typical expenditures including:
- Advertising and marketing
- Car expenses
- Meals
- Monthly brokerage fees
- TREB/RECO/CREA dues
- Cost of gifts or cash given to purchasers by an agent
These expenses may be deducted as a general business expense if certain requirements are met. A real estate agent should keep accurate records of meals, car expenses, and gifts. These are necessary for any audit and are used to substantiate the reported costs.
Once a property is constructed or kept for resale, it is often regarded as inventory in real estate. Inventory valuation is critical because it can have a major influence on net profitability year after year.
