Specify which expenses were incurred as part of the move.
You can claim moving expenses as business expenses if you changed your residence for professional reasons. Professional reasons exist if you are starting a job for the first time or changing employers. For moves within the same municipality, a professional reason exists if the move is required by the employer (e.g. moving into or out of a company flat).
If your move is work-related, you can claim the following expenses as business expenses:
- Costs for a moving company
- Costs for packing materials such as moving boxes, wardrobe boxes, protective covers
- Rental costs for a van or costs for using your own vehicle/trailer
- Repair costs for damaged goods
- Replacement costs for destroyed/lost items
- Fees for no-parking signs
