The SBO commissioned the labour relations centre CAOP to research the effects and the success factors of coaching by school leaders in primary education. The study was funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education (OCW).

The research shows that new school leaders who are coached by experienced colleagues not only settle in more quickly, but also perform more professionally and feel valued in their work. Coaching means school leaders stay in primary education longer than they otherwise would.

An improvement or change in your financial and economic position:
This concerns study or training with which you extend your knowledge and skills
with a view to improving or changing your financial and
economic position in society. A deduction appears possible for the costs of
outplacement, in so far as you bear them yourself (V-N 2007/2.20).

Maintaining your professional position:
Deductible training expenses also include costs you incur to maintain the knowledge
required for your professional position, or to keep up to date in your field.

Calculation:
Take the study costs and other training expenses for a course you followed yourself.
Then subtract from those costs any reimbursement you received, for example from your
employer. Finally, subtract the € 500 threshold. The resulting amount
is your deduction for study costs or other training expenses.

The tax authority does not define precisely what does and does not count as outplacement.
That makes this deduction a grey area, in which you decide at your own risk, or on the
advice of your tax adviser, what you wish to deduct.
