Is It Worth Mentioning?

Rex_Mundi

I recently set up an online business for someone.

He is offering health therapists a package trip abroad to study a specialised massage technique.

He has just spoken to his accountant, and has learnt that for other self employed therapists (he is only offering this to qualified fitness and health professionals), there is the chance for tax relief in the region of 30%/40% off the cost of the trip.

Seeing as the trip costs are £1420 for 10 nights, or £2320 for 24 nights, this could make the trip more appealing to possible clients.

Do you think it's worth mentioning this tax relief on the site, and if so, how would we word this?

I would mention it anything to attract more clients..

but I wouldnt know how to word it!

I've already put some wording on the site, but have had a suggestion for an alternative. Can anyone post on whether they think the first, or second set of words comes across better? I know which one I think sounds better, but I don't want to say, and possibly sway anyones POV........Cheers

A note for any self employed Therapists/Health professionals. It may also be worth having a word with your accountant about the price. You may find that a large percentage of this trip would qualify as a tax deductable expense with this training course being connected to your profession/business.

One of the benefits of being self employed is the opportunity to take business expenses and reduce your tax payments. Travel, course and meals may all be tax deductable to you as a professional. My advice would be to discuss this with your accountant.

Whats the site? Have you got a link then tallying the words up with the feel and look of the site is a good way of determining wich one would/could work.

Because I'm paid to run the site. I have an interest in it. So me posting a link to it would be against the rules of this site, so I won't.

Seeing the rest of the site wouldn't make any difference. This section is a small part concerning tax deductions for self employed people.

From the replies I've had already, and reviews I've had from outside of this forum. I've gone with number 2. This was my prefered choice anyway (I think it sounds more friendly).

Thanks to those that offered their point of view over the choices.

I would of gone with choice 1 in my opinion.
