Tax Return 2025: 1230 Euros flat rate: These advertising expenses reduce the tax burden even further
Whether books or train tickets - there are numerous opportunities to deduct advertising costs around the job and thus save taxes at the end. An overview.
In 2021, most people who filed tax returns in Germany received an average refund of 1172 Euros. This is due to employees having income tax withheld from their salaries every month, which is often too high. Many taxpayers also have expenses that are recognized by the tax office as reducing their tax liability, such as work-related expenses.
A standard allowance of 1230 Euros is deducted from employees' income as a work-related expense, even if no specific expenses are claimed. If higher expenses can be documented, additional tax savings can be achieved.
