Field help: Did an external work directly precede the establishment of the second household?

Select "yes" if the establishment of the second household was immediately preceded by an off-site work in the same location and if you claimed the meal allowance for this occupation.

Select "no", if your second household was not preceded by off-site activity or if there was an interruption of at least four weeks between ending the off-site activity and setting up the second household.

The duration of the off-site work is credited against the three-month maximum period for the recognition of meal allowances. If you have already claimed meal allowances for 92 days or more for this off-site occupation, the tax authorities will not grant you a meal allowance for your second household.
