I'm planning to have a YouTube channel about customizing shoes. I need to buy shoes to draw or paint on them. Can those shoes that I am going to buy tax deductible for my videos?

Hi,

Yes, if you will be claiming the YouTube Channel as self-employment income, then you will be able to deduct the cost of the shoe as a business expense on your tax return.
