(2025): 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.
