Can I deduct books and professional journals?
You can deduct books and business journals purchased during the tax year. You will need to enclose the relevant receipt (invoice).
These books and newspapers are only deductible if the publications are used exclusively or almost exclusively during your professional activity.
On the other hand, the cost of acquiring publications of general interest, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, popular literary or scientific works that might be of interest to everyone, is not deductible.
If your total expenses are less than €540, you don't need to complete this section on taxx.lu! The flat-rate minimum of €540 will be automatically deducted from your return.
These expenses are subject to the discretion of the tax authorities, who will decide whether or not they should be taken into account.
