School Contracts

[Roe Michaud]

This is the best way to deal with slow paying places... Having been music teacher in a school district myself for over 20 years I have a tip for you. Get paid up front. 
    Now that I am a technicain I offer the  schools and churches that I tune for a discount if they pay up front for the entire year within 30 days. Yes, that means some districts pay me over $500 up front. It works and then if there is additional work at the time of service they are billed at full price. The contracts pay well and I have the money in hand before I do any work. They have my word in writing on contract. It's easier for everybody. Try it. Seroe Michaud www.michaudspiano.com

Well, yes, but not by deducting discount amounts from the expense side of the equation, but by not paying tax on the amounts that are missing from the income side. That is, you don't give your accountant a list of "imagined" income, and then a list of the amounts that you discounted from that fictitious list, you just give the already discounted total.
