Your electricity and gas bills as business expenses
Electricity and gas consumption is an unavoidable expense for sole proprietors who use office space, a workshop or other business premises. The costs of electricity and gas can be deducted as business expenses.
What does electricity and gas consumption cover?
Attention! If you have a home office, only part of your electricity & gas costs will be deductible! This depends on the size of the workspace in relation to the entire home.
Electricity & gas consumption includes all costs for the use of electricity and gas in your business activities. This can range from lighting your office space and charging your laptop to heating your workshop and powering equipment. These costs are necessary to keep your business premises functional and comfortable.
Electricity & gas as deductible professional expenses
The costs of electricity & gas can be considered professional expenses and are therefore tax deductible. For self-employed people and sole proprietors, these expenses are often a fixed part of their monthly or yearly business costs. If you do your own accounting via Dexxter, you can easily enter these costs so that they are included in calculating your yearly personal income tax as a self-employed person.
