Designation
Enter the exact description of the hospitality costs.
You can deduct your expenses for hosting business partners and employees as income-related expenses if the event occurs for professional reasons.
Also provide as much information as possible about the content of the meeting, for example, "scheduling, starting a project". Tax-deductible expenses include:
- Hosting business partners
- Employee assessment
- Project completion
- Team meeting
- Training of employees
- Conversations with customers
- Wardrobe costs
- Bathroom costs
- Tips and gratuities
Important: You have to provide credible proof that this is a work-related occasion. Therefore, not only some selected people should be invited, for example not just some friends among colleagues, but the whole department.
The time of the event should ideally be at the edge of working hours or during the lunch break - and not at the weekend.
