Whether study costs are deductible for you as a self-employed person in healthcare depends on the situation. You may only include a study as a business expense if the study is relevant to your company and is intended to keep your professional knowledge up-to-date or to expand it. In addition, it must be a professional course or company training aimed at acquiring a completed amount of knowledge or skills.
If this is the case, you can deduct these costs from the profit from your business. In principle, this applies to everything you need to follow the course or study, including registration fees, travel and accommodation costs and the costs for materials you have to purchase.
In the case of CareUp, this means that you can enter the costs for the subscription to the CareUp app as a business expense if you work in healthcare as a self-employed person. In addition, you can of course reclaim the VAT.
Tip: always keep all invoices and receipts so that you can hand them over to the tax authorities if necessary. You can find your CareUp invoices in CareUp portal or request them via info@careup.online.
