Promoting is an investment. During your research you have to do it with a relatively low salary, while you make quite a lot of costs. In order to complete your promotion, you will have to spend a lot of money. Consider, for example, the printing costs of your dissertation and the reception after the promotional ceremony. In the past, certain study costs were tax deductible. Unfortunately, since January 1, 2022, that is no longer the case.

Since 1 January 2022, study costs and other educational expenses are no longer deductible. You may be eligible for a STAP budget for workers and job seekers.
