Vemma Nutrition Inks Multi-Year Entitlement Deal For Club At Time Warner Cable Arena

The Charlotte Bobcats NBA basketball team have signed Vemma Nutrition Co. to a multi-year naming-rights deal for the north club at Time Warner Cable Arena. The team would not comment on the value of the deal, which industry sources estimated at six figures annually. It is the first time one of the two sideline clubs has been branded since the arena opened in October ‘05, Bobcats officials confirmed. The Vemma Lounge, serving Sections 104 through 106, contains a bar and upscale concessions operated by Levy Restaurants, the Bobcats’ food and drink provider. Vemma, a six-year-old company based in Scottsdale, Arizona, distributes its products through a global network of independent brand partners operating in 50 countries. Vemma also receives scoreboard and LED ribbon board exposure, presenting sponsorship of the “Reading With Rufus” series tied to Vemma’s Next children’s formula, advertising in game programs, concourse table rights, digital presence at bobcats.com and opportunities to host events at a home game.

UNDER LOCK & KEY: The Bobcats also have signed a three-year deal with LifeLock for naming rights to the box office at Time Warner Cable Arena. The agreement, whose value was not disclosed, positions LifeLock as the Bobcats’ official identity theft protection partner. The deal includes exclusive branding with LifeLock’s colors and logos on ticket windows and will-call ticket envelopes, year-round LED exposure on the center-hung scoreboard’s lower ring, radio spots and a digital presence on the Bobcats’ and arena’s Web site.

Starting your own network marketing home based business brings you a million-and-one benefits but the one specific benefit I want to talk about on this blog post are tax benefits since it is tax season.

Most all network marketing companies have a monthly auto-delivery program a member has to be on to qualify for all commission bonuses. Vemma brand partners need to be on a $120 monthly auto-delivery to qualify for all commissions. Guess what? Your monthly auto-delivery of $120 is 100 PERCENT TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

A Vemma brand partner on our success team, Carol Herzog, is an accountant. Carol called the IRS to ask them if our monthly auto-delivery is 100% deductible. Carol spoke with IRS representative Colleen ID #0348881 and below is what the IRS representative said. First she asked several questions about how our business worked:

• Is purchasing the $120 monthly auto-delivery was a common practice amount for all members? which is “yes”
• If it was expected for business builders but not consumers? which is “yes”
• If it was helpful to drink the product? which is “yes”
• Necessary to get paid? which is “yes”
• Appropriate for network marketing industry? which is “yes”

Based on the answer and Publication 535 Business expense page 2, the expenses would be ordinary ( common and expected) and necessary (helpful and appropriate) in regards to our MLM business model. Which means the $120 purchase qualifies as a business expense.

Also if a doctor recommends and supplies Vemma out of their office, it is a medical expense for a patient. This is in the instruction for Schedule A.

Other tax advantages to your home based network marketing business are the  obvious expenses you can deduct, such as:

• A portion of your rent or mortgage – your business has to pay rent and that includes home-based businesses. Some of the amount that you pay each month in rent or mortgage payments can be counted as a business expense.
• The cost of your computer
• Office equipment and furniture – office desk, office chair, computer, software, telephone, printer, lighting, etc.
• Internet connection
• Phone bills
• Your vacations and company events – This benefit can be huge! You’ll be able to deduct the cost of the plane ticket, hotel expenses, food, entertainment.
• Conferences – There is no faster way to super-charge your business than to attend a conference. You’ll get a fantastic business education, get a chance to network and best of all get to write off the expense.
• Restaurant meals – Take out members in your down-upline, up-line, or anyone you talk to about your home based business and the meal is on the IRS.
• Groceries – Your home office needs some food for visitors. It is unlikely you will get away with your entire grocery bill but food you consume for home events and visitors is a legitimate deduction.
• Some car expenses

In conclusion, it is hard to put a positive spin on paying taxes. It always hurts but we all have to do it. The good news is that by joining Vemma and or any network marketing company there are tax deductions that you would not have been able to deduct if you did not have a home based business.

Always consult with a tax professional.  We cannot provide any warranty about the information above.
