I am planning to use AI Subscriptions like ChatGPT or Google Gemini for learning work related technologies.
I would like to know if these subscriptions are tax deductible ?
Is there a maximum limit per year ?
Hi @kanth,
Using tools like ChatGPT wouldn't be a self-education expense you could claim.
You may be able to claim a deduction for the cost of the subscriptions if they're required for your employment. Keep in mind, if you use them for personal reasons, you'd have to apportion the expense. Check out our info on claiming software subscriptions for more info.
As for limits, if it's $300 or less you can claim a deduction, more than $300 and it would need to be depreciated.

Is it still not claimable if your learning provider encourages the use of AI, and in some instances requires the use of AI? As long as the course strictly relates to employment?
Hi @Ben1978
You make some good points. This would be best to get tailored technical assistance from us about so we can look into this more closely.
