As soon as you have a certificate from the public health officer recommending a particular treatment or medication, collect the receipts, even for other medical expenses. Only at the end of the year will you know the actual amount of your expenses for treatments, remedies, or therapies. The treatment costs are combined with expenses for other general extraordinary burdens such as medical expenses, divorce costs, or funeral expenses.
You can use our overview to determine whether it is worthwhile to include an entry in the tax return, as the tax office automatically deducts your reasonable contribution from the actual expenses. Only the remaining amount has a tax-reducing effect.
