Can I claim for my own training costs?

If I was un-employed for a specific tax year, and attended various technical courses, at approved Training Centres affiliated with Merseta, for artisan courses, can I claim a certain percentage for the costs of these training courses?
That is to say, I paid for these courses, and invested with my own money?

Were these courses to upskill yourself or part of your keeping up with the industry practices?

Both, to upskill myself, and I also believe and agree to keep up with industry practices.

You would have to identify whether the costs were merely to improve knowledge, like a degree or diploma, or something like a day course which is short and is just a top up for training. The latter would be deductible.

The training is for professional continuos development, in both artisan and engineer fields.

What source code would I use for this to be tax deductible?

Please can you tell me what source code to use for these costs?

Thank you

If you earned income during that period then you would complete the Local Business Income Section of the tax return and include these deductions there, there is no specific source code.
