General material not specific to a client or patient

Equipment is a business tool but is not specific to a customer or patient, unlike a supply which is a "consumable" linked to a service. It is 100% deductible (tax and VAT), as are related maintenance, rental and insurance expenses (provided the equipment is used 100% for the activity). Examples of equipment include

  • the dentist's or doctor's kit 🩺

  • the architect's measuring equipment

  • a lawyer's gown

  • the nurse's gown 🥼

  • office supplies (pens, cartridges, mouse pads, keyboards, etc.)

  • computer equipment (not amortized)

  • smartphone (not amortized)

  • computer bag 🎒

  • ...

Specific rules apply to certain expenses, which are often also used in private life: smartphone, tablet and computer, glasses, clothing.

💡 If you buy equipment that you also use privately, indicate on the invoice the professional % you wish to deduct.
