Household services

31.01.2019

In the owner-occupied property, artisan work can be claimed for German tax purposes. Cost of household services (such as care and nursing services, childminder, AuPair), employment relationships (such as home help, gardeners, janitors) or craftsmanship will directly reduce the income tax liability when provided in the home or on the property. Another condition is that the payment is payable and an invoice can be proven.

The maximum taxable amount is EUR 6,000 per year, of which 20%, ie EUR 1,200, will be deducted directly from the income tax liability.

It is therefore worthwhile, as far as possible, to plan craftsman services in such a way that a further order is placed in the following year, when the maximum amount has already been exhausted.

The benefit extends only to the labor costs, the journey or the machine rental. Material costs are not deductible, unless it concerns consumables such as cleaning and scattering agents. Therefore, the tradesman or service provider should be asked before billing to split the costs accordingly.

The expenses must be claimed in the tax return and proven on demand.
