For the self-employed, this brings a number of tax benefits. Deductions are available for several expenses, so it is crucial that you are aware of the guidelines for expenses that qualify for a deduction.
Which expenses are tax deductible?
As a business owner, you may face various expenses for materials, equipment and the like that are necessary to keep your business running.
This also applies in cases where you run a small business alongside your main occupation and therefore have a B income. The key here is that you have an accounting record as a self-employed person, which allows for deductions.
For example, the following expenses are tax deductible:
In addition, entertainment expenses are tax deductible. This includes the cost of food, drinks and gifts. For example, if you hold meetings in restaurants, you can potentially claim a deduction for a portion of the expenses.
Marketing and advertising costs are also tax deductible.
Expenses for private use cannot be deducted.
It is very important that you separate personal expenses from business expenses. Personal expenses do not qualify for tax deductions even if you work from home. You must be able to prove that the expenses are related to your business and not solely to your home.
If an expense has both business and personal use, you can deduct the portion used for business from your taxes. For example, if you have a phone that you use equally for work and leisure, you can deduct half of the cost of the phone from your business taxes.
