Deductibility of CME Seat

Discussion in 'Taxes and Accounting' started by districttrader, Feb 29, 2016.

  1. If anyone on here has been through this before - what is the deductibility of a CME seat for tax purposes? I haven't purchased anything yet but was curious.
     
  2. Maybe not deductible at all. Perhaps a capital asset?

    It's treated like real estate. Except when you sell it goes under proceeds from barter.

    You can also lease a seat
     
  5. The lease cost would likely be mostly/all deductible.
