To be able to deduct the costs of laying out and maintaining your garden, there must be a business link<\/strong>. A garden is usually private<\/strong>, so that link isn\u2019t automatic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By definition, something only counts as a business expense when the purchase helps you maintain or increase your income. However, there are plenty of exceptions<\/strong> that make garden maintenance costs (partially<\/strong>) deductible<\/strong> for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And there are probably a few more situations like these. In these cases you can argue that garden maintenance is important for your business. However, the costs will rarely be fully deductible<\/strong>. You may only deduct a reasonable part<\/strong> of the costs. The rest remains a personal expense.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can calculate the proportion<\/strong> based on surface area or on how much time it is used professionally, but it\u2019s best to discuss it with your accountant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may only deduct the VAT on garden maintenance in proportion to the professional use<\/strong>. If the professional use is 25%, you can reclaim 25% of the VAT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","deduction_tag":[],"class_list":["post-15200","deduction","type-deduction","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n
