Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 


Field help: Did you have expenses for your vocational training?

Expenditure on professional training can be deducted as special expenses up to a maximum amount of 6.000 Euro. This means that these costs will reduce your taxable income and therefore your tax burden.

The decisive factor here is the first vocational training or a first study as the first vocational training. Further training courses after the first vocational training completion are further training expenses and thus deductible as income-related expenses.

Important: If the training or further training is merely a matter of general education or a hobby (e. g. VHS courses) with no apparent intention of later employment in this area, the costs cannot be deducted. Such costs are not tax deductible as a "hobby" or "private matter".
