Licences (business taxes and memberships) for fishers
Enter the total cost to renew your annual licences. If you bought a licence from another fisher, you can only deduct part of the cost each year.
If you bought a fishing boat and the price included the cost of a licence, you need to know what part of the price was for the licence and what part was for the boat. Try to agree on these amounts with the seller.
