Project Management Training - London - Agile vs Standard and which one

[vetran]

His comment is too broad so could be incorrect in some instances.

It's only allowable if it is directly related to your fee-earning work. Nothing else. If you write .NET for a living, training in .NET and immediately related technology is all that's allowable.

Anything else - new technologies, business admin, sales, whatever - is expanding your skillset and out of scope. There is a detailed explanation on the HMRC website somewhere.

This seems a good explanation and suggests the wholly & exclusively test

So a few contract adverts with "must understand Agile" should suffice.


So no your "how to pierce your todger" course would fail unless your wife paid for it.

As always ask your accountant.

Both mention phrases like work related training or helping do their job. That's pretty clear about doing the job and not learning new skills. If a job advert says needs agile then IMO that's very borderline but for me would fall under a new skill. A programmer wouldn't need Agile to program but would need a new skill to get that job.

I'm pretty sure you'd get away with that one but it's by no means that clear cut.

A classic one is the MBA. As an IT Manager what I learned studying towards an MBA was invaluable but that qualification is expressly called out as not allowable in on of HMRC's example.

If you look at that way studying the 17th edition isn't relevant for an electrician.

IMHO its HMRC being annoying!

Not IPSE member yet, but I assume that the cost can be business expense and VAT can be offset ?

Thanks

See links above as to whether it can be a business expense.

I think he means the IPSE membership not the training. As it happens the business can pay for it but its not deductable.
