Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 


Field help: - of which covered by collective transport (free of charge or reduced in price)

Enter the number of kilometres that you have travelled free of charge or at a reduced price on the way to your place of work as part of collective transport.

Collective transport is when the employer organises and arranges the transport of several employees. It must not fall within the employee's decision-making authority.

A voluntary carpool is not a tax-free collective transport.

Important note: Since 2004, you can no longer claim a travel allowance for a free or reduced-price collective transport service. This means that if you make an entry here, the travel allowance will not be credited for this leg of the journey.

Example: The one-way distance between your home and your place of work is 10 kilometres, which you cover completely by collective transport. Then also enter 10 kilometres in this field. The travel allowance would then be 0,00 Euro.

Decimal places in the kilometre data are rounded down according to the legal requirements for the travel allowance. In tax law, this is often rounded up in your favour, unfortunately, the legislator does not allow this with the travel allowance.
