Field help: (2023) Flight and ferry costs

List here the flight and ferry costs that you have incurred for the trips between your first and second home.

The type of transport used is irrelevant.

• The tax office takes into account the travel costs for actual trips by car between the place of employment and the place of one's own household at 30 cents per distance kilometre or 38 cents from the 21st distance kilometre onwards (Entfernungspauschale (travel allowance)).
• If you have used public transport, enter the actual costs.
• Flight and ferry costs, as well as costs for a paid carpool, are always taken into account in the proven amount.

When using a company car or an official car and in the case of collective transport provided by the employer, a distance allowance cannot be considered.

Instead of the expenses for a trip home, the charges for long-distance phone conversations up to 15 minutes with relatives belonging to the household can also be taken into account.
