Tax overnight stay hotel instead of dual residence?
Hello,
I live 180km from my workplace and commute to my workplace every two weeks for 2-3 nights and stay with friends.
If I stay in a hotel, can I deduct this from my taxes as business-related accommodation expenses? Is there a limit to these costs?
Unless you have dual residence, you can deduct one-way commuting from your tax return. If you have dual residence, you can deduct one return trip per week. What happens in the above case if I don't rent but only live in a hotel/hostel?
Best regards!
This is theoretically possible if the provisions for double budget management are available.
€1,000 per month for accommodation on the site of double budget management
No, in the case of double budget management, the weekly return journey is deductible.
Like a second apartment.
The path 1x a week home, not back again (quasi analog to the distance board)
And the question will come:
The main conditions for tax consideration are:
I think 1. And 2. It’s self-explanatory.
At 3: it is not only enough to buy from time to time, but you should pay a certain amount and participate in the costs, you are married this point is irrelevant. Despite the relaxed BFH legality, the assumption that taxable persons living in the household of the parents do not have their own household is also valid. The contrary must make the taxable person credible. Also the mere renting of an apartment may not be enough.
I’m married. Thank you.
