The tax write off

For a business, web design and graphic design services are in most cases a tax write off.  Depending on the purpose of the site, you may have to amortize it over 3 years. There may be some rare cases where it would not be a write off, so you should always check with your tax professional.

The cost of the web design is not the only thing you can write off.  There is also the cost of website hosting and all the incidentals that go along with that, such as domain name fees and SSL fees.  So in a nutshell, any and all fees related to your website are potentially deductible.

IN 2008, the IRS allowed a business to deduct up to $250,000 of captial expenditure (including website development) under section 179.  In 2011 that amount has doubled to $500,000 of captial expenditure.  What this means is that for your business, 2011 is an excellent year to invest in website development from a tax strategy standpoint.
