Are you talking about the payments you make on a credit card to pay off some or all of the balance? For example, you have $1,000 charged on the card, and you are sending $250 to pay it down?
If so, then, no, this is not what you deduct.
Instead, you should deduct the items that you bought with the credit card: stationary, business cards, fuel, telephone bill, etc. And you deduct them in the year in which you "bought" them, even if you paid for the items over the span of a couple of years.
Any interest incurred on the credit card for business purchases would be deductible - this is why it is really a good idea to have a separate checking account and credit card for your business so that there is no confusion over what interest is personal and what is business.
