This is a difficult question to answer definitively because it depends on the business and how the expenses are categorized. For some businesses, pencils may be considered a office supplies expense, while for others they may be considered a marketing expense if they are used for promotional purposes. The best way to determine which expense category is correct for your business is to speak with your accountant or financial advisor.
