Workdays per week
Please select the number of working days per week you regularly worked at the primary place of work / collection point / extensive work area.
The number of working days is used by the tax office to verify the information you have given on the number of travel days between your home and your place of work.
Typical values in the tax return (travel costs for the tax office) are:
- 5 day week: 230 working days per a calendar year
- 6 day week: 280 working days per a calendar year
This information is not used by SteuerGo to calculate the income-related expenses but is only required for completing the official tax forms.
Since the Corona pandemic and the home office regulation, the rule that 230 or even 280 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.
