Flying cheap and try to book flight and hotel at the same time

Cheap flying

If you make your reservation to fly on a weekday, you will find that it usually costs less. Fares for flying are usually higher on Monday and Friday since those are usually the days that people come and go. Saturday flights occasionally have discounted fees, but it is a know fact that it is more expensive to fly on a weekend than on a weekday.

Book your flight and hotel together

When you book your flight and hotel together, sometimes you will get the advantage of special rates. You will get to be on the same flights and get to choose the same great hotels that you have always been choosing from, the only difference is that you will get a better rate.

Home business tax deduction for self-employed

Those who are self-employed or are planning to start a business from their home should make full use of the provisions made under the different home business tax deduction heads. These deductions include:

Home Office: A home office is that part of the house, which you use solely for your business functions. You can benefit from the home office deduction if you use this office regularly and exclusively for business. Indirect expenses and depreciation too can be deducted.

Car: If you use a car to carry out your business then you can deduct the business cost of the car. You can also deduct the operating and maintaining expenses of the car. The deduction can be based on actual costs or the IRS mileage rate, whichever is more beneficial to you.

Personal assets: You can claim a deduction on personal assets, like computers, that you use in running your business. You, however, have to qualify the percentage of use.
