Flat-rate allowance for professional drivers (number of days x 8 Euro/day)
Professional drivers may claim a flat-rate allowance in the amount of 8 Euro per calendar day instead of the actual costs incurred during a professional activity lasting several days with overnight stays in the vehicle. The prerequisite is that they can claim an allowance for additional meal expenses for this day.
For calendar days on which the employee can claim a flat-rate meal allowance for a one-day off-site work without overnight stay with an absence of more than 8 hours, the flat-rate amount does not apply. The right to choose between actual costs and the flat-rate allowance can only be exercised uniformly in the calendar year.
If you had overnight expenses in connection with your off-site work, select "yes". Overnight expenses include, for example, expenses for
- a hotel
- a guest house or
- a flat that you have rented temporarily.
You should be able to prove all expenses to the tax office, if necessary.
Accommodation costs can only be recognised as income-related expenses in the amount actually incurred, but for a maximum of 48 months at one and the same place of work in Germany, and after that up to a maximum of 1.000 Euro per month.
