When you invest in art for your business, you also invest in a good working environment. In addition to the art beautifying the company, it also enables the employees to be involved in the selection of art and to support local artists.
In the year 2000, investing in original works of art was made even more attractive as it became possible to deduct the purchase of art from tax. This is applicable in Denmark. Ask your local tax authorities whether a similar tax deduction is possible in your country
The right to write off a purchase of art is not possible if the company buys the artwork from an artist who is a family member or otherwise related to the company’s owner. Spouses, parents and grandparents as well as children and grandchildren and their spouses are considered close relatives, just like stepchildren and adoptive children.
Since the rules came into force in the year 2000, the conditions have been relaxed in several stages, so that the deduction options in some cases also apply even if the art work is to be exhibited in a private home. So if you have a registered company, you can write off the purchase price even if the work is to hang on the wall of your home office.
Is it towards the end of the year and does your business have profits? Consider whether it is not time to invest in some original works of art. In this way, the company can write off the costs, reduce the risk of an investment that may not keep its value – and at the same time you and your employees can enjoy a beautiful work of art.
The rules on art depreciation that we have just reviewed mean that you can buy virtually all works for sale at catravn.com with tax benefits. You can buy ceramics, paintings and original numbered and signed graphics. The only works you cannot buy with tax benefits are reproductions that you find under the POSTERS menu item.
The exhibition will always consist of works of several different sizes and in several price ranges, so there is something to choose from within your budget. The specific number of works will be agreed upon. Of course, we also include price lists.
CAT RAVN will be responsible for the exhibition of the pictures unless we agree otherwise. The exhibition period will always be a minimum of one month, and all the works will be exhibited for the entire period, regardless of whether they are sold.
The company is required to purchase at least one of the exhibited works and cover the transportation costs of the works to and from the exhibition site.
The company is responsible for insuring the exhibited works and is thus liable for works that are damaged due to negligence, fire, burglary, water damage or similar.
