Are parking tickets a business expense?

No. While parking fees may be deductible business expenses, parking fines or penalties are not. Fines are not considered a necessary expense for the production of income. This applies even if you drive for a living, as described in this link: Can I Write Off Parking Tickets if I Drive for a Living?
