Field help: Should maintenance in kind be claimed for all persons living and supported in the household?

If the supported person lives in the household of the supporter, you can claim 1.008 Euro per month without proof. In this case, select "yes".

The tax office assumes that you incur expenses of this amount. These expenses are referred to as benefits in kind (including food, accommodation, clothing) that arise from a moral obligation.

For example, if you support your child for whom you no longer receive child benefit, but who still lives with you, you can claim the benefits in kind provided for tax purposes. This also applies to partners in a cohabiting relationship.
