THINK THIS WILL 'FLY' WITH MY CPA?
Just wrapped up a week in Portugal. Lots of sights to see and ports to visit (and taste)!
Not to be distracted from work
however, I rigorously researched health care learning:
Portugal has a National Health Services public health system (SNS in Portuguese), supplemented by voluntary private health care.
Comprehensive NHS services - including primary & preventive care, maternity,
hospitalizations, etc. - are financed through general taxation, at rates varying from 14.5% to 48%.
Life expectancy is 80.98 years, earning a World
Bank ranking of # 28. (Japan is #1 at 84.62. The U.S. is # 51 at 77.28.)
These factoids of course, can be easily Googled. (More HERE.)
Thus I felt compelled to conduct some more careful in person ‘research’ to wit:
It’s true what they say about the Mediterranean diet. I ate like there was no tomorrow but came
home 1 lbs. lighter; i.e., the Miracle of Fatima! (If you want your kids to eat their veggies, try preparing them in fresh olive oil or just serve muhammara.)
Given such personal sacrifice in
the name of business, I should have no trouble deducting this trip, right?
(If this works, you might enjoy Tip # 635!)
