Field help:
Did you maintain a second home because of your work?
(Second household)
Select "yes" if you incurred costs as part of a second household.
If your workplace is far away from where you live and you need a second home, you are considered to have two households.
Certain costs incurred by you, as a result, can be claimed as income-related expenses.
For example, the following costs are deductible:
- Costs for flat search (e.g. travel costs for flat viewing, telephone or postage fees)
- Costs of moving to set up the second household (transport costs, cost of a hire car, travel expenses on the day of moving)
- Meal costs (in the first three months after the establishment of the second household
- Rental and incidental rental costs
- Costs for trips home
- etc.
