Deducting school fees from taxes – what parents need to take into account. With school fees of 5,000 euros per year, parents could deduct 1,500 euros.
School fees do not include expenses for meals, care and accommodation for students. Parents have the option of billing care costs for children up to their 14th birthday separately in the “Child’s appendix” of their tax return. This is a maximum of up to 6,000 euro per year of which two Third could be deducted from taxes as special expenses.
