Are tax advisor fees fully deductible?
Only the business portion. Work on your EÜR, VAT returns, trade tax, and ongoing bookkeeping is a business expense. The share relating to your private income tax return has not been deductible at all since 2006.
How do I split the business and private portions?
Many firms already itemise the two separately. If the split is missing, you can estimate it reasonably; tax offices routinely accept an allocation based on the underlying services.
Are lawyer's fees deductible?
Yes, where the cause is business-related: contract drafting, debt collection, employment law, or trademark protection. Privately motivated proceedings such as a divorce are not.
What about bookkeeping software and outsourced bookkeeping?
Both are fully deductible as ongoing business expenses, as are the costs of an external payroll provider or a freelance bookkeeper.
