Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 


Field help: Did you have expenses for household-related services in 2024?

Select "yes" if you had expenses for household-related services in your household.

Household-related services are services carried out by a service provider in your household. These services must have been carried out by a self-employed service provider or an agency.

The services that can be claimed include, for example:

  • Flat cleaning, window cleaning, stairwell and common room cleaning,
  • Garden maintenance (e.g. lawn mowing, hedge trimming),
  • Moving services (excluding third-party refunds).

Note: You should not enter costs from the statement of service charges or building management fees twice (according to sect. 35a of the Income Tax Act (EStG)). You can enter these at "service charges / building management fees statement".

You can also find an exemplary list of eligible and non-eligible household-related services and work done by tradesmen in the letter of the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) dated 09.11.2016.
