>>>>Candy

The big bowl of candy you keep at the door is deductible and even better if it is branded with your business logo.

>>>Do you have any candy left after the big night? 

You can donate it to nonprofits and get a tax deduction for the donation.

>>Halloween Costumes

Did the business pick up the cost of employee customs for the festivities? You can deduct the cost and donate the ones you did not use for a tax deduction.

They are not deductible for individuals, but your business can deduct the costs of the decorations.
