I'm talking about Microsoft Office courses. These would be required to gain the skills to create invoices, expenses spreadsheets etc. That's as relevant to my business as it is to any other business which sends its employees on such courses.
It doesn't have to be relevant to the current work or clients does it? I mean, people here go on re-skilling training courses which don't have anything directly to do with current work. They are investments towards future growth and revenue.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

If its only an Office course - and therefore presumably not a lot of money - is it really worth the hassle - the tax savings may not be very much anyway.
Or, if it is expensive, can she not get a training grant from the local enterprise company?Comment

I think that for them to be allowable for tax relief they have to be enhancing a current skill rather than retraining in another...
Precisely how the revenue can know what skills you have and don't have is beyond me.
Why not just 'purchase online' some CBT's. A much safer and cheaper option and she can do them as life allows. For MS Office apps and such like they are fine.Comment
