What is the tax reduction?

If the household help is employed in a mini-job with a monthly salary of up to 556 Euro, the expenses are also tax-privileged:

The expenses are deductible up to 2.550 Euro at 20 percent, maximum 510 Euro per year, directly from the tax liability.

The maximum deductible amount of 510 Euro is not reduced on a pro rata basis if the employment does not last the entire year.
