If you are an active person, chances are you do not need a protein supplement and using one will be counterproductive because of the extra calories (remember, 1 gram of protein provides as many kilocalories as 1 gram of sugar!). Athletes and vegetarians are special populations that may require supplements.
Amortization expense is a non-cash expense. Therefore, like all non-cash expenses, it will be added to the net income when drafting an indirect cash flow statement. The same applies to depreciation of physical assets, as well other non-cash expenditures, such as increases in payables and accumulated interest expenses.
If you decide to amortize costs rather than deduct them outright, it can benefit you in future tax years. It might be an option if your business isnât bringing in boatloads of income in its startup year but you expect to make a nice profit in future years, so the tax break would be more beneficial then.
