Employees can receive a tax-free corona bonus.
The maximum amount is 1,500 euros.
Can the bonus also be split?
Employees can
receive
a maximum of 1,500 euros
as a tax-free
Corona bonus *
from their employer.
In the meantime, the regulation has been extended to March 31, 2022.
However, the maximum amount remains the same.
In addition, the amount is only tax-free once.
This means: Anyone who has already received 1,500 euros as a corona bonus from their employer in 2020 cannot receive another tax-free payment in 2021 or 2022.

However, the employer can split the bonus: If a company has paid its employees a corona bonus of 1,000 euros in 2020, for example, a bonus of 500 euros can be granted until March 31, 2022, as the German Press Agency describes.
If no corona bonus was granted in 2020
, the maximum amount
could be used
up until March 31, 2022
.

If the
Corona bonus
is paid in kind, the employee should confirm the time of receipt in writing, experts advise.
And there is something else that should be of interest to many employees: If you have
two or more employment relationships
with a
different employer
, you can receive a bonus of up to 1,500 euros for each employment relationship - even within a calendar year, according to you.
The bonus is basically a voluntary service by the employer.
