Lohnsteuer kompakt FAQs

 

Additional travel expenses


What additional travel expenses can I deduct?

In addition to travel expenses, accommodation and meal allowances, you can also deduct other costs incurred in connection with your off-site work. These include, among others:

  • Parking fees, tolls, garage rental
  • Telephone charges for business calls
  • Entrance fees for business events
  • Luggage storage fees
  • Costs for currency exchange and loss on repurchase
  • Compensation for traffic accidents
  • Damage to travel luggage
  • Theft of items (professionally used items, private items taken for business purposes, necessary personal travel items)

Loss of money or jewellery is not reimbursed.

For many incidental travel expenses, there are no receipts. You can still claim these in your tax return. Create a self-issued receipt with the location, date, type and amount of the expense and submit it.

Tip

If you do not know the exact amount of an item, estimate it. Many tax offices accept an estimated amount if it is plausible.
