Total exceptional costs

Important: The legislator expects every taxpayer to bear a share of the exceptional costs as specified in sect. 33 Income Tax Act (EStG). Therefore, only those costs which exceed the reasonable burden and which are actually necessary will be taken into account.

The reasonable burden is deducted from the exceptional costs. Only those exceptional costs which remain will then be taken into account for tax-reducing purposes.

The deduction of the reasonable burden is designed to take into account the economic capacity of the taxpayer.

Important: In its judgement (VI R 75/14) of 19.01.2017 (German), the Federal Fiscal Court decided that, contrary to the previous calculation method, the reasonable burden must be calculated in a multi-stage procedure. Lohnsteuer kompakt calculates the reasonable burden according to this new procedure. This new method of calculation has also been applied by the tax authorities since 2018.
