Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 


Field help: Place of employment (postcode, city)

Please enter the location of your off-site workplace where you maintain a second home for work reasons.

After entering the details, you can provide all information related to each instance of maintaining a second household – e.g. accommodation costs, trips home, or additional meal expenses.

Note: For multiple assignments in a year (e.g. project work or transfer), please enter each place of employment with the associated second home and period separately.

When is more than one entry required?

If your situation changes during the year, a single entry is not sufficient. Please enter a separate place of employment for each period with different conditions.

Typical cases:

  • Move of main residence: New main residence = new household management.
  • Move at place of employment: New second home = new period (important for meal allowances).
  • Change of place of employment: New place of work = new case.
  • Long interruption: From four weeks (e.g. holiday, illness) the three-month period starts anew.
  • Overseas assignment: Different rules, e.g. no rent cap, but proof required.

Tip: Each entry should be assigned to a clear period and a specific second home – this makes it easier for the tax office to review.
