Field help: Amount

Specify the amount of expenses incurred for your move.

You can claim moving expenses as work-related expenses if you moved house for professional reasons. Professional reasons exist if you are starting a job for the first time or changing employers. For moves within the same municipality, a professional reason is given, for example, if the move is required by your employer (e.g. moving into or out of a company flat).

If your move is work-related, you can claim the following expenses as work-related expenses:

• Costs for a moving company
• Costs for packing materials such as moving boxes, clothes boxes, protective covers
• Rental costs for a van or costs for using your own vehicle/trailer
• Repair costs for damaged goods
• Replacement costs for destroyed/lost items
• Fees for no-parking signs
• Travel expenses on the moving day or for viewing the property
• Costs for double rent payments/ancillary rental costs
• Costs for newspaper advertisements and estate agent fees
• Procurement costs for a cooker and heaters
