Take the depreciation rate into account!
You are making a major investment: a new studio comes out of the ground, for example. You deduct this construction in proportion to your professional use.

You also take into account its depreciation rate. As an indication, for a building with an estimated lifespan of 30 years, the annual depreciation rate will be 3%.

Are you self-employed in a company? Since 2020, a “pro rata temporis” depreciation applies: in the year of your investment, you deduct in proportion to the remaining months of the year.

Are you self-employed as an individual? There is no pro rata temporis depreciation. Did you buy in October? You still amortize for the whole year.

Certain investments qualify for a federal tax advantage, the deduction for investment. Check here whether this is the case for yours: https://bit.ly/3cVAjdO. Between March and December 2022, this deduction increases to 25%. This is a government decision, in the context of the corona crisis.
