• As a business, how can I deduct profit by buying gold?

I want to reduce my profits by buying jewellery or valuables. In what circusmstances may it be fully deductable from profit?
Asked 6 years ago in Income Tax

It is dedcutible only if it is used for the purpose of business.

What is your business?

Please feel free to call/ revert in case you need more clarity.

Hi

Buying any asset will not reduce the profits. This cannot be done. You should consider other ways to reduce profits.

Jewellery is a personal asset and hence can not be deducted from profit.

Hi,

Sorry, unless you are in the business of buying and selling gold or jewellery, you cannot claim it as a deduction.
