Days with travels to the place of work
Enter the number of days on which you were at this work during the 2022 tax year. Just use the button and the actual working days will be updated according to your entries, taking public holidays into account.
Tip: Days on which you have worked only part-time are also fully taken into account.
The usual values for the tax return, taking weekends, public holidays and holiday days into account, are
- for a 5-day week: up to 230 work days per a calendar year
- for a 6-day week: up to 280 work days per a calendar year
Based on the information you entered, the travel allowance is calculated by SteuerGo using the following formula:
Travel allowance =
Number of days x one-way distance (in km) x travel allowance per km
However, if you conduct several trips per day to your place of work for professional reasons, the travel allowance per working day can only be deducted once.
Due to the Corona pandemic and the home office regulation, the rule that 230 working days per year are accepted by the tax office no longer applies without further ado! Due to travel shortages, travel expenses may only be claimed if you actually went to the place of work. Many tax offices request statements from employers about the days actually spent working at the company or the authority.
