Re: Purchase discount for freiberufler

Update. The car Dealership told me that the car will be registered on a "Juristiche Person" and not on a "privat person". I am trying to understand if this will impact the insurance although anyway i have already confirmed the order. The dealership told me that in case i could al...

Re: German Tax software?

Any Feedback ?
Also this year I used Smartsteuer and I did not change.....due to lazyness.

Re: Steuererklärung: Cost of supporting hosted parents with very low income.

Unfortunately I found that I can't claim back money for their support because they do not result as people in "state of need". Indeed as far as I read, the value of their assets is taken in consideration. If it is over 13.500 euro (dont remember the exact number) then they are not in state...

Steuererklärung: Cost of supporting hosted parents with very low income.

It is my understanding I can deduct the cost for supporting relatives with low income. It would be the case of my parent in law. They are non-EU citizen, they got residence permit due to the EU mobility law/directive because I am italian who moved and live in another EU Country (Germany). They stay ...

Steuererklarung not mandatory if you dont change employee or not special income

Days ago I was venting a bit off with a friend about the fact that due to the new way Solidarity Tax is levied, me and my wife we always find ourselves owing a big amount of this tax in the Steuerklarung. This year for example is almost 1400 eur additional sum to be paid. At the end our steuererklar...

Hi Sorry if I may repeat myself but I want to be sure. As a "customer" is my responsibility to check just if in the invoice there's a Steuernummer but I don't have to check if it's real or if it is or not really related to the activity of cleaning service, right? Or maybe she can use the S...
