Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 


Field help: Designation
Designation

Please enter the exact name of the work-related item that you used for work and paid for yourself.

Make it clear which work-related item you purchased, when, and for what purpose – e.g. for home office, client meetings, or professional training.

How to phrase correctly:

  • Laptop Lenovo ThinkPad T14, used for work in the home office
  • Professional book „Bilanzrecht 2024“, used in tax consultancy
  • Toolbox for maintenance work, daily use in electrical trade
  • Ergonomic office chair, used in home office, 50% work-related use
  • Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S22, original price 800 Euro, 80% work-related use

Avoid general terms such as „computer“, „tool“ or „book“. A specific description helps the tax office with verification and increases the chances of approval.

The work-related item must have been used predominantly for work – that is, more than 50% of the use must be work-related.

Private co-use must be taken into account proportionately.
