Expenses for work done by tradesmen (invoice amount)
Enter here the expenses for work done by tradesmen. This includes all tradesmen's services that were commissioned by your property management. This includes, for example
- Expenses for roof maintenance and gutter cleaning
- Maintenance costs for the heating system
- Expenses for the maintenance of the building
You can claim the share attributable to your flat unit in your tax return.
You can find the amount either in your service charge statement or the house charge statement (Nebenkosten- oder Hausgeldabrechnung) or from the separate "Statement according to sect. 35a of the Income Tax Act" (Bescheinigung nach § 35a EStG).
Important: As a rule, the "Statement according to sect. 35a of the Income Tax Act (EStG)" only shows the expenses for the work done by tradesmen according to sect. 35a. These then refer to the wage shares, machine and travel costs. In this case, you can enter the same value in both fields "Invoice amount" (Rechnungsbetrag) and "Included wage share" (darin enthaltener Lohnanteil)!
