Tax Write Offs: Benefits for Higher Education

Updated: Jun 22

Small businesses that provide their workforce with educational benefits may be able to fully deduct the associated costs of offering this perk. Tax-deductible education expenses include everything from continuing education to courses intended to provide workers with advanced professional licenses.


Percentage deductible: 100%

Eligibility: Deductible education costs must add value to the business and increase the workforce’s expertise and skills.


Example deductions:

  • Classes and workshops intended to improve skills in the business’s field

  • Subscriptions to professional publications

  • Industry relevant seminars and webinars

  • School tuition

  • Online web development course

  • Real estate license renewal

Special considerations:

  • Educational expenses that qualify employees for a different trade are exempt. Courses necessary to meet the minimum education requirement are also exempt from tax deduction.
