Have you incurred private school expenses for <%0500107%>?
Select "yes" if you had expenses for a private school in the assessment year 2021.
School fees for private vocational schools can also be taken into account. It does not matter whether the school is located in Germany or in another EU/EEA country. Schools and institutions that lead to a recognised general educational or vocational school qualification, annual qualification or professional qualification are eligible for tax deductions.
The deduction of school fees is carried out through the special expenses deduction and is available for children for whom there was an entitlement to child allowance or child benefit in the year 2021.
When determining income tax, 30 percent of the expenses per child (max. 5.000 Euro) are taken into account as special expenses.
