I agree with Hippo. They are probably using a high speed local mobile hotspot provider. Or if they just let their costs run wild they may just be using their regular phone provider and paying all the roaming charges. I know Taiwan is not a desolate place. But it is much, much cheaper for me to buy a 1 month data sim card and pop that into my phone than pay ATT roaming charges for a month. Using ATT in Taiwan would rack up astronomical roaming charges that I don't feel like paying for and can't really write off since I don't do business in Taiwan (yet).
Hey YBGuy, where are you located?! I strongly recommend talking to a local account. They will know better than me, but I think you can save
a lot of money over the next several years.
You get paid (or will get paid) to make motorcycle content right?
You declare income (or will declare income) made from that content right?
When you need something in order to make that income, that's an expense against your income on your taxes.
Where the money was spent doesn't matter.
Not saying it's a good idea to roam your domestic plan in Taiwan... just saying cameras, lenses, audio equipment, memory cards, gas, hotels, sim cards, etc. whatever you need to conduct your business and make your income, is a tax write-off.
Where you spend the money doesn't matter. The fact you're spending it in order to make money that you will claim is what matters.
One of my closest and longest friends is an accountant, but he's up here in Canada. Things might be different where you are. A quick phone call with a local accountant could save you thousands over the years.
