Legal Definitions - office expense

Definition: Office expense refers to the costs incurred by a business for its day-to-day operations, such as rent, utilities, and salaries of support staff. These expenses cannot be directly attributed to a particular product or service.

Examples:

• Rent for the office space
• Electricity and water bills
• Salaries of administrative staff
• Office supplies such as paper, pens, and printer ink

These examples illustrate how office expenses are necessary for a business to function, but they do not directly contribute to the production of goods or services. For example, rent for the office space is needed to provide a workspace for employees, but it does not directly contribute to the production of a product. Similarly, salaries of administrative staff are necessary to keep the business running smoothly, but they do not directly contribute to the production of goods or services.
