Oz Scapes

By Zacharias Allred

 Recently I discovered a way to deduct my family’s vacation from my small business taxes. I started a home based travel business. This provides me with many tax deductions. As a tax accountant this immediately got my attention.

1. Videos And Pictures. While on vacation my family will make videos and take pictures of the places we visit. I will be able to hire my wife and children to perform services while we are on vacation.

2. Itinerary. I will ask my daughter Natalie (12) to find a fun family vacation spot that we can go to in the following year. She will be in charge of the trip itinerary. She is instructed to pick places that are not only fun and exciting but that will also offer valuable content for our videos and pictures.

3. Who Do You Call? After the trip itinerary is completed my wife puts a call into Travelencia. Here she makes all the arrangements. Our credit card stays in our wallets because Travelencia has 0% layaway financing.

4. Grips Anyone? Joseph (14) and Joshua (10) will be in charge of all the video and camera equipment. They will make sure it is in good working order with batteries charged. While traveling from place to place they are also responsible for setting up and taking down the equipment when we shoot videos and take pictures.

5. Video Timer. To save time editing I have Joseph stand behind the camera and lift a hand when the video he gone 3 minutes. This gives me about 30 seconds to a minute to wrap up. I have a tendency to lose track of time while I am trying not to look silly on YouTube so Joseph’s services an invaluable.

6. Next YouTube. With simple software that we all have access to the videos and pictures will be prepared for the internet. YouTube is free and an excellent marketing tool. We will all work together to edit and add our contact information.

7. Internet Marketing. The Infinite Potential Forum is free to join with no monthly fees. Here I post a link in the “Support My Marketing Efforts” section.

Everyone should have a small business for no other reason than to have more deductions. Hiring your family and structuring takes planning but is not difficult. Tax planning in your personal life is so profitable that it can become a home based business by itself. Deductions ranging from home office, entertainment, and medical reimbursement plans are just a few methods that you can consider to lower your overall tax liability.

Healthy Flying at Malta International Airport
By Roger Munns

 Are you tired of the cramped quarters, smelly passengers and generally uncomfortable experience of flying? Does the idea of spending nine hours on a plane with noisy strangers make you feel a bit nauseous? In many places around the globe, the amenities once associated with flying, such as good meals, free drinks and great passenger service are lacking. Passengers are unhappy, and some people are flying less as a result. In Malta, however, conditions are different.

Malta International Airport has addressed the negative issues associated with flying and has taken action to change the public perception of airlines. The Healthy Flying campaign provides products to help passengers feel better during their flights. Airport Value Marketing Association and Aviation Health have teamed up with the airport to give passengers in Malta the flying experience of their dreams.

The internal air in a plane often leaves passengers with drying, cracked and uncomfortable skin. In Malta, the comfort of passengers is the number one priority. When flying to or from Malta International Airport, passengers have access to moisturizers, helpful in combating dry skin during a long flight. Dry skin equals cranky passengers, while well-moisturized skin brings the opposite effect.

How about leg swelling as a result of a long flight? The airport now provides flight socks that drastically decrease swollen limbs, as well as ear plugs to provide a quiet flight. With ear plugs, passengers can now get a nice, long nap on their flight, without children screaming and other passengers talking loudly and interrupting their dreams. There’s nothing like a good dose of silence to lull a person to sleep.

Under Aviation Health founder Farrol Kahn, an expert in the field of aviation health and medicine, passengers are guaranteed to receive a great experience in Malta. Oxygen supplement drops, which aid in reviving a stressed brain, are also given to passengers when requested. Dark chocolate and red wines, both well-known for their health benefits, soothe passengers who are often apprehensive about flying in a crowded plane.

Materials are handed out in the departure area by a staff highly trained in product knowledge. An expert on the products gives passengers a sense of comfort usually not associated with public airplanes. By keeping up to date with a strict training program, promoters and sales assistants are always aware of the benefits and side effects of each health care item available on the flight.

Mario Psalia-Savona, Malta International Airport’s head of non-aviation services, believes that the Healthy Flying concept shows the commitment that the airport gives to customer service. With the Healthy Flying program changing the face of aviation, other programmes are being planned to set the airport apart from the crowd. This makes Malta one of the top airports in the world for passenger comfort and service.

It’s a step in the right direction, and, hopefully, other airports around the globe will follow Malta’s lead. Every frequent flyer, and even non-frequent fliers, will benefit from the progressive steps Malta is taking to increase passenger comfort.
