If I had a programmer/designer try to charge me for their parking ticket, I would fire them on the spot. Unless they told you to park there, they don't owe you anything.

Silly question to be honest. The client should not pay for your mistake.

I obviously misunderstood the posters intent. I thought he meant write them off as a business expense on taxes.

Why someone would actually consider charging the client is beyond me.

My original question was whether it can be written off as a business expense. Obviously, I would not pass the cost to the client.

Yes, you are correct ... and, no, is still the answer.

Are you sure? I know I've read parking tickets somewhere when doing taxes.
