From the 2026 income year onwards, flat-rate expense deductions on copyright income will no longer be available to everyone. In principle, they are reserved for people who hold a valid Arts Certificate<\/b> for the relevant activity. If you do not have this certificate, flat-rate expenses can no longer be applied, which may increase the tax due on this income. Accountable has been updated accordingly.<\/p>\n
