Do you do any trading for services that you use?
Anyone dealt with training while working as an employee of a club? I have a trainer who is moving onto our club staff and she has some clients who do trades. I am not sure what to do about it. I don’t mind her trading, but the club still needs to get reimbursed since we don’t benefit from the trade.
Hi Stacy Rae. I recently answered a similar question. I’ve not bartered or traded services, but I can remember several years ago, that was a big thing. But I also seem to remember that there was a lot of controversy over the tax implications of bartering, so I’d recommend talking to your tax adviser about this if you choose to do it. Better be safe than sorry!

I’ve been in a bartering position with my hairdresser for about five years. Other than that, I’ve bartered to have my interior trim and doors painted and once for a family portrait. I also bartered by teaching a basic class monthly at an all-women’s gym for the ability to train clients in that facility rent free.
I’ve found bartering to open doors to additional clients.
