Are your legal fees high?
Don’t worry, these legal costs are fully deductible for VAT and income tax. You spend those amounts during your work and they help you protect or increase your professional income, e.g. to draft a contract with a supplier or to comply with GDPR: it is an obvious professional expense.
The same logic is therefore also valid for your legal protection insurance, so you can subscribe to this without worrying.
🔨 This only counts for legal costs related to your professional activity, of course: expenses related to your civil life (for example a marriage contract) are not deductible for tax purposes.
💡 Please note that, administrative fines, such as VAT fines, fines for late filing of annual accounts, etc., are no longer deductible as of January 1st 2020.
