Deducting income-related expenses (Werbungskosten)
Most employees know that their gross salary isn’t the actual amount they receive each month in their paycheck – that’s why it’s so important to claim as many deductible expenses as possible on your tax return. In addition to special expenses, household-related expenses, and extraordinary expenses, you will primarily be deducting income-related expenses. According to the German Income Tax Act (EStG), income-related expenses are all costs incurred as an employee that serve to earn, secure, and maintain your income.
