Do the expenses apply to the whole object?

Select Yes if the expenses apply to the entire building or apartment. SteuerGo then automatically calculates the proportion that is attributable to the leasing based on the recorded area shares.

If you choose No, the programme assumes that the expenses are exclusively related to the rental and are therefore fully tax-deductible.
