The energy allowance for pensioners has now been paid out.

Students should also receive the money soon - but do the 200 euros have to be taxed?

Hamburg – Rising energy costs made students all over Germany desperate.

Many of them could no longer afford to live in their student town.

The energy flat rate for students from the federal government's relief package is now intended to remedy the situation.

But the 200 euro energy flat rate has to be taxed by the state, asks

How do students receive the energy allowance – and does it have to be taxed?

The energy allowance for pensioners has now been paid out.

Most pensioners received 300 euros, some of them even 600. The payment of the energy flat rate for students, however, is still pending.

Every student who was enrolled at a university in Germany or registered at a vocational school on December 1, 2022 is entitled to receive it.

In total, around three million students and 450,000 students at vocational schools are to receive the energy allowance.

Currently, there is even a demand for an energy allowance for children.

Application must be submitted: When will the energy allowance for students be paid out?

However, it still seems unclear when the energy allowance will be paid out to students.

So far, the only thing that is certain is that the energy flat rate has to be applied for – so there is no automatic payment.

And: does 200 euros really end up in the account when the student energy allowance is paid out?

Because the energy flat rate for pensioners and employees must be taxed.

Does this also apply to students?

Payment of the energy allowance for students: In some cases, it has to be taxed

In fact, the rule for taxing the energy allowance also applies to students.

The energy flat rate of 200 euros must therefore be taxed - if a certain income limit is exceeded.

The tax allowance for single students in 2022 is 10,347 euros.

For married students, this allowance increases to 20,694 euros together with their partner.

If the income of students is below this allowance, the energy flat rate does not have to be taxed.

However, many of them receive more than 200 euros.

In order to be able to finance their studies, many students work in a mini-job.

Since October 2022, it has been possible to earn 520 euros per month without having to pay wage tax.

Students with mini-jobs receive an additional energy allowance of 300 euros, bringing the total to 500 euros.

The additional 300 euros should have landed in your account by now.

The 200 euro energy flat rate for students will probably not come until next year - the exact circumstances should be clarified in the near future.
