I don't remember. I might have bought a software licence or a memory stick or similar, but am not sure if it was before or after the New Year. It's not something I keep a note of (unless they might be tax deductible, in which case I'd have an incentive to keep a record).

| Hardware so far | Apr 9, 2012 |
New PC and what comes along (printer, modem, connection...).
With a bit of luck, I'll manage to register and pay for the Barcelona conference before the end of the week!

In memoriam
I completely re-equpped my office in December '11 - new PC, larger monitor, external hard-drive, larger desk, new chair - so the major investment was done recently, but not this year.
I'll probably treat myself to some more dictionaries later this year.

First my membership in the Translators Association, and presently in a Professional PDF Editor. Mind you, the membership was more expensive than the editor (only 95.00 Euro)

| Nothing yet, but soon | Apr 9, 2012 |
I've not made any investments yet, although my laptop makes me nervous sometimes, so I guess I have to look for a new one soon.

New car?! Could you explain how you make this tax deductible for a translator? Sounds interesting

except maybe a little marketing and self promotion and some office supplies.
| | | | | Some of the above | Apr 9, 2012 |
Books, a QA software upgrade, various webinars and a training course. And time, of course, in my own professional development.

I am just starting out in translation, so I bought a new laptop, I got connected to the newly installed fiber-optic cable in my neighborhood and I became a ProZ.com member.

Surely given the nature of the question, it refers to things bought for the purposes of the business which therefore means it is asking about stuff which by definition is tax deductible, at least in part?
I don't think it means a memory stick bought for swapping holiday snaps (could be, could be, say no more squire, say no more)...
Bit of a daft question though; hard to answer if you've bought stuff in more than one category.
