Refund through the tax return at the tax office
You can claim the costs for professional development in your tax return as business expenses for the self-employed or as work-related expenses for employees.
Depending on how high your personal income and thus your personal tax rate are, the tax office indirectly contributes to the costs of the course through tax reduction of up to 50%. Deductible are, among other things, participation fees or travel costs. For further questions, please contact your local tax office.
