Deductible expenses for the self-employed

What you can (and can't) deduct to pay less tax, legally.

By ContaFlow Editorial TeamMay 15, 20264 min read

Deducting correctly lowers your tax bill without risk. The golden rule: the expense must relate to your activity and be justifiable.

Usually deductible

  • Work materials and tools.
  • Self-employed contribution and business insurance.
  • Professional services (gestoría, software).

Needs care

  • Vehicle and fuel: specific rules apply.
  • Home as office: only the proportional share.

Always keep the full invoice with your tax ID. No invoice, no deduction.
