The tax allowance according to § 10f EStG can be claimed for properties that are considered monuments or are located in rehabilitation areas and urban development areas.
You can benefit from the tax allowance according to § 10f EStG if the property is owner-occupied for your own residential purposes or is transferred to other persons free of charge.
If you are claiming acquisition or production costs for the first time, please submit an itemized statement indicating not only the invoice amount paid but also the invoice date, the subject of the service and the company performing the service.
Date of purchase
Enter here the date of acquisition.
The date of acquisition is the date on which the legal possession, benefits and burdens were transferred to you. The date of acquisition is therefore the date on which the object was transferred to you and you were able to use it. The acquisition date is therefore not necessarily the same as the date of payment.
Date of the building application
Enter here the date of the application for building permission.
The date of the building application is the date when the authority receives the application.
Completion date
Enter here the date of completion.
The date of completion shall be the date on which the property is ready to be used.
Was the property used for own residential purposes?
In order to receive tax relief, it is usually an essential prerequisite that the property is used for one's own residential purposes or is let free of charge to close relatives. Enter here the date of occupation.
Owner-occupied living space
Enter here the owner-occupied living area that is allocated to owner-occupied living space.
Some rooms within the owner-occupied rooms may be rented out or used for business purposes.
Was the tax relief in accordance with sect. 10f of the Income Tax Act (EStG) determined separately and uniformly?
Shares in the tax relief under section 10f of the Income Tax Act (EStG) are determined separately and uniformly if several people jointly benefit from this tax relief, for example, due to their participation in a partnership. This process ensures that the tax relief is allocated and applied fairly and in accordance with the individual shareholdings.
The "uniform assessment" means that the tax advantages of the benefit are determined and considered together. All tax aspects resulting from this benefit are considered as a whole.
The "separate determination" refers to the individual allocation of tax benefits to the persons involved. Each participant receives their own share of the tax benefit based on their shareholding or share of the joint activity. This individual share is then used for the personal tax calculation.
The reason for this procedure is to ensure that the tax benefits are distributed fairly and in accordance with individual shareholdings and tax laws. This is particularly important when several people jointly benefit from the tax advantages under section 10f of the Income Tax Act (EStG). It ensures that the benefits are distributed fairly and applied correctly.
Street and house number
In order to claim the tax relief under sect. 10f of the Income Tax Act (EStG), the following requirements must be met:
- The property must be used by the owner or let free of charge.
- The building must be located in a redevelopment or development area or be a historical monument.
- There must be a certificate from the responsible authority that the property is a historical building or is located in a redevelopment area.
- No application for owner-occupied housing allowance (Eigenheimzulage) has been submitted in the past.
Is the property located in a holiday or weekend area?
If the property is located in a resort or holiday area, the property may not be suitable for permanent living due to building regulations. If this applies to your property, tax relief might be denied.
The responsible authority must issue you a certificate if the property is approved for permanent living under building law.
Is the deduction claimed for a subsequent property?
If applicable, you can transfer the tax benefit to a subsequent property if the property was not used for your own residential purposes until the end of the subsidy period. The subsequent property must also meet all the requirements for tax relief.
Owner
Please indicate if the property belongs only to you or if there are other owners.
If you are not the only owner of the building used by you for your own residential purposes (benefited property), the maximum amount of the tax reduction for the entire benefited property can only be claimed once in total.
