such as small pot of money, the petty cash expenses are typically tax deductible just like any other business expense\u2013and they can add up.<\/p><p>For example, a business that averages $200 of tax-deductible petty cash expenses per month, could potentially write off $2,400 from its annual tax bill.<\/p><p>Hence, documenting all of your petty cash transactions maximizes the opportunity to take advantage of the tax deductions available for those expenses.<\/p><p>The tax authorities can provide you with the relevant information applicable to your specific circumstances, such as the <a
