Which contributions to unemployment and disability insurance can I specify?

Contributions to voluntary insurance against unemployment and occupational disability can be claimed.

Anyone who has taken out voluntary occupational disability insurance can claim the contributions as special expenses in their tax return.

However, these contributions are only recognised if the maximum amount for "other insurance" of 1.900 Euro for employees and pensioners and 2.800 Euro for self-employed persons has not yet been exhausted with contributions to basic health and nursing care insurance.
