You can write off all business expenses in your taxes; the government pays for your business expenses, including frivolous bullshit like luxury dinners. It is only pure profit that's taxed. The individual is taxed as soon as they get any money, even if the paying that tax means they don't eat that week.

Frivolous expenses aren’t usually tax-deductible. And the government doesn’t pay for it, it just means that the company reduces their taxable income by that amount
