Submitted by NORUN NOFUN on Fri, 2016-06-10 09:51
If i have to do and pay for a confined space and working at heights course before I get the job im after - is this tax deductible ?
For some reason i think it isn't from memory, but can't find the answer on google.
Cheers

current employment
Unfortunately, self education expenses are claimable for current employment only. You can't claim even if it's to get a new job.

Could be deductible
Generally, any expenses that lead to a new job are not deductible.
However, if you are "renewing" an existing skill/qualification then it would be.
Shoot me a message if you have any tax queries (no charge). I have my own tax practice.
