Claiming auto expenses is beneficial to reducing your taxable business income. Auto expenses include fuel and oil, license and registration, maintenance and repair, insurance, car washes, parking, tolls, interest paid on an auto loan and leasing costs. Be sure not to miss out on these costly expenses by being sure to save every receipt.
When claiming meal and entertainment expenses be sure to write down the name of the person you were with, for example, “potential client Jane Smith.” Getting into this habit will help to audit-proof your return.

If you plan on selling an asset at a profit, consider spreading that sale out over several years. You can spread a capital gains tax up to 5 years, as long as your payment plan persists for 5 years.
