Hi all!

After putting myself through a bookkeeping course am I able to use this as an expense through my business??  I have a soft furnishing business at present and started a bookkeeping course in April 2009 and have now decided to become a bookkeeper and eventually close my other business down, but can I put the cost through as an expense in my 2009-2010 accounts??  I am paying for the course over 24 months so for 2009 - 2010 there is a cost of appox. £650.00

Many Thanks!!

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Sorry, the answer is no.

However, now that you have setup a bookkeeping business all future courses related to that business including CPD are legitimate expenses of the business.
