Do you trust a tax advisor with regard to your tax return?

Find out here how not to be left with the costs.

The tax return for 2020 is due on October 31, 2021. If you don't feel comfortable filling out the (online) forms yourself, you can contact a tax advisor. Do you shy away from the costs? Don't let that put you off: Most tax consultancy costs can be deducted from the income statement, informs the news portal

ntv

. And not only that:

In addition to the costs for the tax advisor, you can also claim payments to the income tax association, amounts for specialist books on the subject and online tax programs in your tax return.

The latter two items can even be completely deducted from tax *, informs the

Finanztip.de

portal

. In principle, all expenses for tax advice that arise when determining income are deductible. Enter your costs for this as advertising or operating costs.

Tax consultancy costs that relate to private life cannot be deducted, as

ntv

further informs.

But what does the cost of private life count?

The tax office understands this to mean everything that falls into the area of ​​the investments “child”, “maintenance”, “old-age provision” and “capital-forming benefits”

.

These investments have nothing to do with the determination of the income and are therefore not advertising costs, according to

Finanztip.de

.

If you still afford a tax advisor to fill out these forms, these are not unavoidable expenses, according to the Federal Fiscal Court, but costs of private life.
