While the service deduction can be a great help, there are some important conditions and key points to be aware of:
1. Limits on deductions:
Thereare annual limits on how much you can deduct for each service. It is important to be aware of these limits to make the most of the deduction.

If the work is done by a company, the company must be registered for VAT and report the income correctly. It is therefore always a good idea to make sure that the company you use is registered.

Only services performed in your home are eligible for deductions. If the work is performed outside the home, it is not deductible.

To claim deductions, you need to be able to document your expenses, so make sure you keep receipts and invoices.
