Hermès Birkin

$12,000-$40,000+

Is a Hermès Birkin Tax Deductible?

Short answer: No: Hermès Birkin is a personal luxury purchase and not a business expense.

Even branded or 'image' purchases for business owners fail the IRS ordinary-and-necessary test. Jewelry sold as business inventory is the exception.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt or invoice and an estimate of business-use percentage.
