I am sure there a million things I am missing, that would probably get me fined or locked up for this.
Theres lots wrong with this. First of all, when dealing with a non-arm's length transaction there are stipulations around fair market rates and qualifications for work. Secondly, it has to be work thats eligible to be written off in the first place, etc.
