For hedges, trees, lawns: Mini-jobbers for gardening not only brings tax benefits
If you register your gardening help as a mini-jobber, you can deduct part of the costs from your taxes. What is necessary for this and what advantages both sides still have from the registration.
In Germany, private households can hire garden help as a minijob, which can be tax-deductible. To do this, the employer must register the minijobber with the Minijob-Zentrale, providing personal and employment details. The registration has several benefits, including a 20% tax reduction, up to 510 euros per year, and social insurance coverage for the employee, including accident and pension insurance.
If the employment is not registered, it is considered unreported work, and the tax benefits and insurance coverage are lost.
