Business expenses are those expenses that you incur as a result of your work.
You can find out what you can deduct from the tax here.
The tiresome subject of tax returns: Almost no one likes to do them - although there are immense sums of tax refunds. For example, specifying income-related expenses in the tax return offers enormous tax-saving opportunities *. The tax office automatically takes 1,000 euros into account with regard to the income-related expenses for each employee.
However, if you have spent more than 1,000 euros, you can get back any taxes you have paid too much by providing detailed information in Appendix N of the tax return,
as the
Finanztip.de
portal
informs you.
But what actually falls under the term “advertising expenses”?
All costs that you incur in connection with your professional activity and that are not reimbursed tax-free by your employer fall into this category.
This includes expenses such as work equipment, relocation or training.
