[CAUT] PTG Dues

[Richard Brekne]

That strikes me as kind of like asking an employer to pay your union 
dues :)... not quite the best analogy but not the worst either me 
thinks. As to courses and seminars...  depends on the situation.  If the 
school is has some direct benefit from some particular training I get... 
then I talk to them about it and either they do or dont.  Most of these 
things are tax deductible and if I am not mistaken you cant mix your P's 
and Q' there.  If you get support... you have to declare it as income 
over here and don't get to deduct that amount as an expense.  Sometimes 
its just not worth the bother of all the paperwork to do anything but 
just pay for it yourself.

Cheers

    List,

    I have a quick question;  Have any of you asked the schools of music to
    reimburse part or all of your PTG dues as ongoing education?

    Thanks for any input...
