When you are a self-employed nurse, every euro counts. You invest in your business every day: travel, equipment, software, insurance, clothing… But did you know that most of these expenses can reduce your tax liability, provided they are managed properly?
Unfortunately, many nurses miss out on these optimisations due to a lack of time or appropriate advice. At My Nurse Expert, we exclusively support independent nurses, and optimising your professional expenses is at the heart of our mission.
What expenses can be deducted when you are a self-employed nurse?
Business expenses are expenses necessary for the performance of your job. In 2025, here are the main categories that you can deduct for tax purposes:
- Your business travel: rounds, home visits, errands related to your work
- Medical equipment: blood pressure monitor, stethoscope, bandages, consumables
- IT and office equipment: computer, printer, work phone
- Healthcare software and medical subscriptions
- Work clothes (if for exclusive use or identifiable)
- Continuing education related to your business
- Part of your housing costs if you work from home
The key point: these expenses must be justified, related to your business, and properly categorised.
Mistakes that cost you money
In our experience, these are the most common mistakes:
- Mixing personal and professional expenses
- Forgetting to keep receipts (tickets, invoices)
- Underestimating certain recurring expenses
- Not updating your tax categories over the yearsThe result: lost deductions, excessively high tax bases… and a heavier tax burden than it should be. This is where personalised support makes all the difference.
