Gasoline Deduction on Boat Rentals

My small business rents boats and jet skis. Can I deduct the gasoline used on my taxes?

This seems relatively simple but I can’t find a good answer. Thanks!

Yes, you may deduct the cost of the fuel used to power the rented boats and jet skis.  That is certainly part of the cost of doing business.

 

Here is a link to Publication 535, Business Expenses.  You may find it useful in your business
