Tax Return 2025: €1230 flat rate: These advertising expenses further reduce the tax burden
Whether books or train tickets - there are numerous opportunities to deduct advertising costs around work and thus save taxes at the end. An overview.
In 2021, most people who filed tax returns in Germany received refunds, with an average of 1172 Euros. The refunds are largely due to employees having too much tax withheld from their salaries throughout the year. Many taxpayers also claimed deductions for work-related expenses, such as commuting costs, training expenses, and home office setup costs. A standard deduction of 1230 Euros is automatically applied to employees' income, but those with higher expenses can claim additional deductions to reduce their tax liability.
