(2024) What other work-related expenses are there?

Some items can be claimed at a flat rate without proof: If you use your private mobile or landline phone for work, you can claim 20 percent of the phone bill – but there's a limit of 20 Euro per month. The same applies to the internet connection. If you pay 30 Euro for a flat rate, you can claim 6 Euro per month.

For the current account where your salary is paid, you can claim a flat rate of 16 Euro for account management fees.

Finally, you can also claim tax advisory costs as work-related expenses – but only those related to your employment.

If your tax advisor processes the “child form” or the main form, this is not deductible. An exception applies to tax advisory costs up to 100 Euro. They do not need to be itemised. If you use tax software, you can claim the purchase price in full as work-related expenses.
