Field help: Were there employees subject to social security contributions in your household?

Select "yes" if you have incurred expenses for employing persons in your private household who are subject to social insurance contributions.

This form of employment means that the work is carried out by a person who is employed by you and subject to social insurance contributions. This means that you have paid compulsory social security contributions for the employee(s). It does not matter whether an employee carries out the work in your rented flat, your own flat or house.

You can claim the typical wage and salary costs incurred in connection with employment subject to social insurance as a tax deduction.

Income tax is reduced by 20 percent of the expenses (maximum 4.000 Euro).
