Field help: Did you have expenses for work done by tradesmen in your household in 2025?

Select "yes" if you have incurred expenses for work done by tradespeople in connection with your rented or owner-occupied flat or your residential building.

Only the labour costs and, where applicable, machinery and travel costs, including VAT in each case, are eligible for tax relief. Material costs and other goods supplied are not deductible.

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".
