A relief package is intended to absorb the increased cost of living for consumers in Germany.

Employees in particular benefit from this.

It feels like everything has gotten more expensive since the beginning of the year, and a

relief package

for consumers is now intended to compensate for this.

The relief package includes, among other things, the fuel discount, the

9-euro ticket

for bus and train and the

heating cost subsidy

.

Employees also benefit from the new

income tax

.

From July 2022,

more of the salary

should remain.

Tax cuts: That changes with the income tax

  • Distance allowance

    (increases by 3 cents to 38 cents from the 21st kilometer)

  • Employee lump sum

    (increases by 200 euros to a total of 1,200 euros)

  • Basic

    allowance (increases by around 360 euros to a total of 10,347 euros)

Income tax – distance allowance is increased by three cents, employee allowance by 200 euros

Whether by bike, car, bus or train – the

distance allowance

is raised.

From the 21st kilometer there are now 38 cents

for commuters

.

This is intended to absorb higher costs for trips to work.

The

regulation

applies to the years

2022 to 2026

.

The employee lump sum increases by 200 euros.

This means that taxpayers can have income-related expenses offset against them.

Previously, this was up to 1,000 euros, now 1,200 euros are possible.

This will come into effect on July 1, retroactive to January 1.

There are new tax breaks for employees.

The basic allowance will be increased.

There is more net of the gross.

Relief package: the basic allowance increases, there is more net than the gross

The

basic allowance

increases from currently 9,984 euros to

10,347 euros

.

This means that anyone who earns less than 10,347 euros a year does not have to pay

any taxes

on it .

For everyone else, their income

remains

tax-free up to this limit.

In concrete terms, this means that less wage tax is deducted from wages.

The taxpayers' association expects employers to pay back the overpaid wage tax from July.

This is happening retrospectively up to and including January 1, 2022. Employees can therefore count on more money in July.

The taxpayers' association has calculated how much income tax you will get back.

Pensioners and freelancers will not benefit from the relief package for the time being

For the time being, the relief only applies to

income tax

.

This means that anyone who does not pay wage tax does not benefit from the relief either.

This includes, for example,

pensioners and freelancers

.

Anyone who does not pay income tax can use the allowances with their next

tax return

assert.

This then affects the tax return for 2022, which is submitted in the following year.
