What is the craftsmen's tax deduction?

The craftsman deduction is a scheme where you can claim a deduction for the cost of various craft services carried out in your home or holiday home. The deduction is divided between 'craftsman services' and 'services' where the former covers:

  • Cleaning and window cleaning
  • Childcare services
  • Gardening

And craft services cover

  • Connecting broadband and installing an anti-theft alarm
  • Energy savings
  • Energy supply
  • Climate proofing
  • Other green craft services

Why should I pay special attention in 2022?

In 2022, you will need to pay special attention to the handyman deduction. From April 1, 2022, the scheme will be discontinued, and it will no longer be possible to get a deduction for craft services in the home. This means that if you plan to have craft work done in your home, you should do it before April 1, 2022 to be able to claim the deduction.

It is important to be aware that there may be waiting time with the craftsmen, so it may be a good idea to plan the work well in advance if you want to benefit from the deduction. In addition, you should be aware that you can only claim a deduction for work carried out and paid for in 2022.

You should also be aware that the work you have had done before April 1, 2022, must be paid by May 31, 2022, otherwise you cannot get the deduction for it.
