Certain training costs can be tax deductible but it really does depend on the type of training it is. A person is unable to claim for their training in order to qualify in the area they are trading in, however, if the training is for enhancing or refreshing purposes and directly relates to the businesses existing income then that would be allowed to be put through as an expense.

For example, an electrician would not be allowed to claim for his training in order to qualify as an electrician. However, if he and his employees participated in a course on health and safety for example, then this would be classed as an allowable expense as it relates directly to the business, its future and its existing income.
