Steuererklärung 2025: 1230 Euro pauschal: Diese Werbungskosten senken die Steuerlast noch weiter
Ob Bücher oder Bahntickets – rund um den Job gibt es zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, Werbungskosten abzusetzen und so am Ende Steuern zu sparen. Ein Überblick.
In 2025, a flat-rate allowance of 1230 Euros is available for tax declarations, aimed at reducing the tax burden further. According to data from the Federal Statistical Office for 2021, the average tax refund for those filing a tax return was 1172 Euros. This is primarily due to employees having a lump sum of 1230 Euros deducted as advertising expenses from their income, even if no expenses are claimed.
This allowance encompasses various professional expenses, including the commuter allowance, training costs, replacing old furniture for a work environment, costs incurred due to personal accidents while commuting to work, and joint allowance for moving partners and children. The overview is provided by the business newspaper Handelsblatt.
By submitting expenses higher than the flat-rate allowance, taxpayers can potentially save more on taxes.
