Evening all,

I'm a sole trader (not charging or claiming VAT) doing freelance work in addition to my full time job. I'm interested in doing a course that is directly related to my freelance work and I'm wondering can I deduct the cost of the course from my yearly tax?

I can't find much on the Revenue site apart from the 20% tax relief if I'm paying for an approved course as an individual.

The course I'm looking at is 20 weeks long and I don't think it's on the approved list or at least I couldn't find it. In essence this course would enable me to keep up to date in the freelance job.

Appreciate any input.
 
Yeah there would be no problem claiming this against your freelance income as a normal expense
