(2025): Are the costs for waste collection also included in the eligible expenses?

Although the waste is generated at home and collected from there, the actual service of the waste collection is not the emptying of the bins, but the transport and disposal or recycling of the waste.

This takes place outside the household of the taxpayer and is therefore not eligible.

The Münster Finance Court recently confirmed this view (judgement of 24.2.2022, 6 K 1946/21 E). The appeal against this decision was dismissed - however, for procedural reasons and not on substantive grounds. So the matter is still not completely resolved.
