Self employed tax deduction

n amount that self-employed entrepreneurs can deduct from their profit before tax is calculated. The lower the deduction, the more tax you pay on the same profit. The self-employment deduction is being phased down every year: from €3,750 in 2024 to €900 in 2027. You're entitled to it if you spend at least 1,225 hours per year on your business.
