Ok great. Perfect. That's much simpler if I can just add a second line 33 that runs longer than the original one. Thanks so much. :) :) :) I found the original calculation for the AfA Bemssungsgrundlage which apportioned 90% of the costs to the buildings and 10% to the Grund & Boden so I will us...

Oh this stuff is more complicated than I thought. It's like one of those Russian dolls lol but I really appreciate your time and patience Panda. So we can add the Notarkosten to the original Bemessungsgrundlage but not in their full amount because you can't depreciate the Anschaffungskosten for the ...

You're a star Panda. Thanks very much. A follow up question if I may...I found this (recent) court judgment related to Anschaffungskosten when gifting property. It says the following: letzte Aktualisierung: 22.8.2023 FG Münster, Urt. v. 24.3.2023 – 2 K 1801/22 E EStG § 7; HGB § 255 Abs. 1 AfA-Bemess...

I have another question as I am curious. What is that "Weitere Daten hinzufügen" button for? FireShot Capture 064 - ELSTER - ESt unbeschränkt (ESt 1 A) - 3 - Absetzung für Abnutzung f_ - [www.elster.de].png It opens up another window to add a second Zeile 33 entry, see below. If I don't us...

Ah ok. So these "new" Anschaffungskosten are added to the old amount and only run for (in my case) another 30 years (as I bought the apartment 20 years ago and it's a 2% per year one). I thought they might be considered "new" Anschaffungskosten and be depreciated independently of...

Thanks a lot Panda. You are a legend. I guess I add it under -> Anlage V -> 3 - Absetzung für Abnutzung für Gebäude (ohne Beträge in den Zeilen 36 bis 41) -> durch direkte Zuordnung ermittelt ? Do I simply add a new entry by clicking +Weitere Daten hinzufügen? Or do I need to somehow add this amount...

I recently (end of 2023) gifted 50% of an apartment I owned to my wife. The apartment is rented out. Do the Notar- & Grundbuchskosten count as Anschaffungskosten (to be depreciated with the AfA) or as Werbungskosten, to be written off in one or more tax years? That's assuming these costs are tax...

Sorry just seeing this now :-( It was in my PayBack app under the Nettp coupons but it's gone now. I am pretty sure Netto stuff is always Bundesweit. Edeka has regional offers and allegedly the PayBack coupons are geographically restricted, which was never the case with Rewe, even though the also op...

Netto is offering 300 or 500 extra points (depending on region I think) when spending over €50 next Friday. If you get the 500 and stick to €50 it works out at a generous 20x PayBack points, something we haven't seen for a long time on regular shopping.

The great payback American Express card recommend a friend deal is back on. 4k payback points (€40) just for getting the free card, which you can use or not use as you wish. The advantage of the card apart from the free money is that your payback points (current and future, whether collected with th...

Ah I almost forgot.... The "small crap" €5, €15 and €25 vouchers can simply be lodged to the Shoppingkonto service from WGS. Then you can create €50 gift cards out of those small ones. I now usually pay all my WGS straight in to the Shoppingkonto and then create the real gift cards from th...

Darn, my Amazon balance reached 0€, and no decent voucher deals in sight. Any hints/tipps/deals that I might have overlooked? You can get (almost) 10x PayBack points on WGS through PayBack Prämien at the moment. I say "almost" because when you buy gift cards through the Prämienshop you ar...

FireShot Capture 051 - °Punktekonto - www.payback.de.png Very attractive coupon available for Yello Strom currently in the PayBack app if anyone is looking for a new provider. They are competitive in my region. Without PayBack they offer a 10% discount, so the 30k points are costing you this discou...

I think Rewe started the same way, as a form of cooperative. Not sure if any trace of that is left under the Rewe brand but the Nahkauf stores still operate this way I believe.

Yes, Penny is to Rewe as Netto is to Edeka. Edeka has a similar model to Rewe. Rewe has their own stores as well as franchised ones. Edeka I'm not sure if they have any of their own stores or if they are all franchised. Edeka Hessenring is not taking part in PayBack at all, just as they did not take...

The 15x one worked at my local Edeka yesterday, as did the product group 5x ones. Handy 1000 points. My wife took the 15x one for Netto. There are quite a few 10x coupons floating around but also several reports of people not getting any points at various Edekas. Netto seems to be more centralised o...

Yes. That is exactly what I did - 8 years in Germany and the rest in the UK, then pension at 63, reduced by 0.3% for each month it was taken before normal pension age. All part of how the EU rules on the coordination of social security systems work. So I'm assuming you only got your German (reduced...

Cheers Gary, nice one. Did you pay voluntary NI in the UK at any stage?

Hi all, According to the current rules, it appears it is possible to take your German pension early (usually forfeiting a percentage for each month early the pension is taken) as long as you have worked at least 35 years (or made voluntary contributions covering missing work years). If one starts th...
