Select "yes" if you as an employee in the year 2022

  • only had income from employment taxed at a flat rate (e.g. a mini-job) and
  • you have not received the flat-rate energy allowance from your employer.

In this case, you are entitled to the work-related flat-rate energy allowance of 300 Euro, which is paid by the tax office.

Pensioners with a mini-job can also specify here whether they have already received the work-related flat-rate energy allowance.

All other eligible persons do not have to make any entries about the flat-rate energy allowance in their tax return. Your tax office will automatically take the flat-rate energy allowance into account.

Note: If an employee makes false statements in order to receive the flat-rate energy allowance several times despite the legal provision stating the contrary, the penalty and fine regulations of the German Fiscal Code apply.
