If the decree on employment abroad (ATE) is applied, the salary must be divided according to calendar days. The calendar days spent abroad should be compared to the annual number of calendar days.
If an employment relationship did not last continuously in the course of the assessment period, the calendar days of employment are decisive, not the annual calendar days.
If you do not enter a value here, the programme will automatically insert the value "365".
Please enter the work you performed, for example, a professional lorry driver, staff on ships or aircraft, position in a company's corporate body, etc.
Enter the period during which you performed the job specified above.
Select the type of employment that you had abroad:
If none of the above points apply to you, please select "As part of another occupation" and provide additional information about your work abroad.
Enter the number of days you spent in the foreign country (including days on which you did not work). A brief visit counts as a full day.
The time spent abroad does not have to consist of an uninterrupted stay with consecutive days; multiple visits can be added together. If the visit covers several calendar years, specify the entire period of the stay abroad.
Days that are spent exclusively outside the country of occupation, are not counted. Please add an explanatory list if necessary (e.g. travel expenses).
For professional drivers, a list with an hourly list of work abroad is always required.
If you work in Belgium or Denmark, only the days on which you actually stayed to work in the other country are counted. However, in relation to Belgium, usual breaks in work (Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays) must be counted, even if you have not spent them in the country in which you work.
Exception: If you perform your job on board a ship or aircraft operated in international traffic, information about residency days is not required. This exception applies only to the countries for which the double taxation agreement (DBA) contains a special scheme for the taxation of personnel on board ships or aircraft operated in international traffic.
Please enter the total number of contractually agreed working days in 2025.
The contractually agreed working days are all days on which you were obliged to work under your employment contract. These are the calendar days minus the days on which you are not obliged to work (e.g. holidays, public holidays, weekends).
Please enter the number of working days on which the foreign state has the right to tax your wages according to the double taxation agreement (DTA).
Working days are:
Note: Please check the relevant DTA carefully, as only the conditions specified there are decisive.
Special DTA regulations
Some DTAs contain special counting rules for working days that deviate from the usual procedure. These special regulations state that working days outside the foreign state may also be counted – as long as certain limits specified in the DTA are not exceeded.
Such special regulations are not automatically recognised by the tax office. Therefore, to be on the safe side, write a short note about this in your tax return.
Example: Under the 34-day rule in the DTA between Germany and Luxembourg, the right to tax remains with Luxembourg if you work no more than 34 days outside Luxembourg. For example, if you worked 29 days in Germany, still enter the full 260 working days – and not just 231 days, as the right to tax remains fully with Luxembourg.
