Deduct work equipment: laptop, monitor and more

Which work equipment is typically relevant?

Work equipment commonly includes items used for your job, such as laptop, monitor, keyboard, professional books or specific software.

Whether and how items are considered depends on use and applicable rules. A clear split between private and professional use helps.

Which records help in practice?

For practical documentation, these points are useful:

• Keep invoices with date and product details.
• Document professional usage briefly.
• Use plausible percentages for mixed use.
• Be transparent in unclear cases rather than overly aggressive.

That makes your entries easier to understand and reduces later questions.
