The end of the financial year (EOFY) is more than just a deadline; for Australian businesses and professionals, it is a strategic window to reinvest in growth. At Training ByteSize Australia, we specialise in equipping teams with world-class project management skills that don’t just fill a CV, they drive project success.
Here is how you can leverage the 2026 EOFY to maximise your budget and secure the tax benefits available to you.
The Small Business Advantage: 120% Tax Deduction
If you run a small business in Australia (with an annual turnover under $50 million), the Small Business Skills and Training Boost remains a powerful tool for your 2026 strategy.
- The 20% Bonus: Under the current ATO guidelines, eligible businesses can claim an additional 20% deduction on the cost of external training provided to employees.
- The ROI: If your team enrols in a $5,000 corporate package for PRINCE2® or AgilePM®, your business may be able to claim a $6,000 deduction.
- The Deadline: To claim this boost for the 2025/26 financial year, the investment must be made (and the invoice paid) by June 30, 2026.
Pro Tip: Investing in your team now means you enter the new financial year with a more capable workforce, paid for using “tax-smart” dollars.
For the Individual: Your Career is a Deductible Asset
Are you paying for your own professional development? If you are upskilling to improve your performance in your current role or to increase your income potential within your industry, the ATO typically allows you to claim Self-Education Expenses.
Since the $250 threshold was removed in recent years, you can now claim the full cost of:
- Course and tuition fees.
- Official textbooks and study materials.
- Stationery and specific travel costs associated with your study.
Why Project Management? The 2027 Outlook
As we look toward 2027, Australia’s project landscape is accelerating. From the infrastructure surge in preparation for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics to the massive renewable energy transitions in WA and SA, certified project managers are the most sought-after professionals in the country.
