Investment deduction

The investment deduction is a tax measure that enables your company to recoup part of your investments through a tax deduction. As an SME, under certain conditions, you can benefit from a tax deduction amounting to 25% of the investments made, for investments made between 12 March 2020 and 31 December 2022.

In addition to a general investment deduction for SMEs, some specific investments are also eligible for this measure.
