- Bartering Is Taxable Income
- Bartering is the trading of one product or service for another. Often there is no exchange of cash. In addition to individuals, small businesses sometimes barter to get the products or services they need. For example, a plumber might trade plumbing work with a dentist for dental services. Bartering may take place on an informal one-on-one basis between individuals and businesses, or it can take place on a third-party basis through a modern barter exchange company.
