The Deutschlandticket is particularly attractive from a tax point of view for employees. An expert explains how the tax trick works.

The basis for his calculation is the commuter allowance. For incomes up to 60,000 euros, it is 42 percent. In this calculation example, this results in an annual tax saving of 1864.38 euros (4439 euros times 42 percent) This is significantly more than the costs incurred for the Deutsch Germany ticket. If an employerizes the 49-euro ticket, this will be listed on the income tax card.
