Field help: Absence over 8 hours

Enter the number of days you were away from home for at least 8 but less than 24 hours for work reasons.

• The absence begins when you leave your home and ends when you return.
• Exception: If you first visit your primary workplace, the absence only counts from when you leave this location.
• The reason for the absence (e.g. working hours, traffic jams, waiting times) does not matter.

Meal allowances:

• Germany: 14 Euro per day
• Abroad: Country-specific flat rates (see BMF letter dated 02.12.2024)
