Trips home to the family using
Select the vehicle with which you made the family home trips between the second home near the workplace and the first home.
The type of transport used is irrelevant.
- The tax office takes into account the travel costs for actual trips by car between the place of employment and the place of your own household at 30 cents per distance kilometre or 38 cents from the 21st distance kilometre onwards (Entfernungspauschale (travel allowance)).
- If you have used public transport, enter the actual costs.
- Flight and ferry costs, as well as costs for paid collective transport, are always taken into account in the proven amount.
When using a company car or an official car and in the case of collective transport provided by the employer, a distance allowance cannot be considered.
Instead of the expenses for a trip home, the charges for long-distance phone conversations up to 15 minutes with relatives belonging to the household can also be taken into account.
