Tax-deductible training costs
Newsletter issue - December 2023
As a business owner or as a self-employed person, you may have costs from time to time for training. It may be for yourself or for an employee. Some businesses may have found it hard to understand the current guidance on which training costs are tax-deductible. So, you may be pleased to know further guidance is set to come in this area. HMRC has said it will be coming forward with clarifications.
