If you buy a perpetual license, generally for a very high amount, you will have to amortize the purchase of this software, generally over 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"and-if-the-software-is-used-for-both-private-and-professional-purposes\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">And if the software is used for both private and professional purposes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely no problem, you will deduct part of the subscription fee, depending on the professional use of the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">An example<\/span>: you use a software program professionally 5 days a week, and use it personally 2 days a week. You would then deduct 5\/7, or 71% of the total amount, from your taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-about-vat\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">What about VAT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">The VAT rules are exactly the same: if you use the software solely for your self-employed professional activity, you recover 100% of the VAT.
