              <h4>What are Business Expenses<br />
              </h4>
              <p>Business expenses are the costs of carrying on a trade or business. 
                These expenses are usually deductible if the business is operated 
                to make a profit.</p>

              <p>To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and 
                necessary. An <b>ordinary </b>expense is one that is common and 
                accepted in your trade or business. A <b>necessary</b> expense 
                is one that is helpful and appropriate for your trade or business.</p>
