This year I intend to put myself through CCNP, ITIL, Prince 2 foundation and if I have a bit of time left over maybe some MCP's
If that ain't tax deductable then maybe I'll start a new company in a different field.
I go from desktop support to 3rd line Cisco to project manegement..
It's all IT - I'd like to see some numpty from HMRC try and pick holes over whether a Prince 2 course is relevant to my network support role.
Bring it on.

I've been doing the PM role for about a year now and my current contract takes me past Xmas so I presume its not new work as such.
But I've never had any formal PM training, just picked it up as I've gone from being a developer to team lead developer through to PM (a long journey). I think the Prince2 methodology will be a big help especially as most of the other PM's already have it (not coming from a development background).

For owner managed companies, if the skills learned are allowing you to obtain a new form of work (rather than updating existing knowledge) then the costs are disallowed.
Allowable though for employees.

Yes to both. Of course it's a business expense: you're doing the training wholly in the interests of your business. (If you were learning cookery or falconry it might be a different story.)

Training - valid expense?
I've signed up for Prince2 training (foundation and practioner). Cost was £995 + VAT. I have a UK limited company that is vat registered.
1. Can I claim the vat back?
2. Is the £995 a valid business expense?
My role has altered over the last 12 months from being an SAP Technical Lead to an SAP Technical Project Manager.Tags: None
