(2022) Which contributions to unemployment and disability insurance can I specify?

Contributions to voluntary insurance against unemployment and incapacity can be claimed.

If you have taken out voluntary incapacity insurance, you can claim the contributions as special expenses in your tax return.

However, these contributions are only recognised to the extent that the maximum amount for "other insurance" of 1.900 Euro for employees and pensioners and 2.800 Euro for self-employed persons has not yet been exhausted by contributions to basic health and nursing care insurance.
