Not all education expenses are deductible. However, if a course, training, or workshop is directly related to your business, it is fully deductible as a business expense. General education, personal development, or career-switching courses are not deductible.
What’s covered?
- A coding course for a web developer → Deductible
- A business strategy workshop for freelancers → Deductible
- A general mindfulness course → Not deductible
How much can you deduct?
- Income Tax → Fully deductible if it directly benefits your business.
- VAT → Deductible only if VAT is charged (not all education providers do).
