Frequently Asked Questions
What is barter?

Yes
Why join a Trade Exchange like LVB?
Businesses trade one-on-one every day. The problem with one-on-one trading is that each business owner must need exactly what the other has to offer. In a barter network, everyone trades with everyone, even if they do not want to take back directly what the other person has to offer. Trade dollars are credited to a trade account in the barter exchange, which can then be spent on any item or service desired from within the network.
Are there any tax advantages to barter?
Although there are many benefits of bartering. There are no tax advantages or disadvantages to barter. The Internal Revenue Service considers barter income as the same as cash for tax purposes. Trading should be considered a marketing tool, not a tax tool. As with cash income, however, trade purchases that are business related are also tax-deductible. At the end of the year, a barter exchange totals the barter sales of each member and submits this information to both the IRS and the client on a 1099-B form.
How does Las Vegas Barter make money?
We don’t make money. We are supporting the build out of an abundant Simbi community in Southern Nevada with the help of several nonprofits.
