Field help:
Second home (postcode, city)
Please enter the postcode and location of your second home for work purposes, which you maintain as part of the dual household management.
After entering, you can provide all details for the respective dual household management in the next step – e.g. accommodation costs, trips home or additional meal expenses.
Note: For multiple assignments in the year (e.g. project work or transfer), please enter a separate place of employment with the associated second home and period for each.
When is more than one entry required?
If your situation changes during the year, a single entry is not sufficient. Then enter a separate place of employment for each period with different conditions.
Typical cases:
- Move of main residence: New main residence = new household management.
- Move at place of employment: New second home = new period (important for meal allowances).
- Change of place of employment: New place of work = new case.
- Longer interruption: From four weeks (e.g. holiday, illness) the three-month period starts anew.
- Foreign assignment: Different rules, e.g. no rent cap, but proof required.
Tip: Each entry should be assigned to a clear period and a specific second home – this makes it easier for the tax office to check.
