(2023) Can I claim travel expenses for a job interview?

You can claim travel expenses to the interview at 0.30 Euro per kilometre travelled. To successfully deduct the travel expenses, note the number of kilometres travelled for the round trip on either the invitation letter or a confirmation from the inviting company.

To record the travel expenses (0.30 Euro per kilometre travelled) for the assessment year 2023, you can create an entry on the "Application costs" page: "Travel allowance: X km on DD.MM.YYYY". Enter the result of your own calculation as the amount, e.g. Travel expenses: 270 km on 04.05.2023: 70 km x 0.30 Euro = 81 Euro (= deductible travel expenses).

Alternatively, you can use the travel expenses calculator, which asks for all expenses incurred in connection with the trip to the interview location in detail.
