We do NOT supply
clients with receipts for any expenses. We do this for several reasons:
We are independent contractors, not
employees. When tax time comes, the IRS requires us to provide receipts to
verify expenses on our Schedule C. The IRS does NOT require you to
have those receipts on hand. It is critical to the success of
our business to maintain a proprietary suppliers network--an absolute
cornerstone of a profitable business, and in an insecure environment we do not
wish our competitors to learn who our suppliers are. While this is less
applicable on film and processing than on unusual items, and from time to time,
applies to assistants as well, it is none-the-less critical throughout our
supplier chain.
We have a set fee per amount of
supplies used, regardless of what was actually paid for it.
By way of example, publishing
houses do not request receipts from printing plants for the cost of ink and
paper, nor a receipt for the wholesale prices paid on the repair of a copier,
nor a gasoline receipt from the delivery service who delivers the copies of the
magazine.
Please discuss with us any issues
you have with this policy beforehand.
Pricing has been developed based on
a variety of factors. PLEASE NOTE, however, as every shoot is different, and
