Home-office flat rate or a home study: which applies to me?
Anyone working from home can claim the daily flat rate. Deducting a home study (häusliches Arbeitszimmer) at actual cost requires that the room is the centre of your entire business activity. If it is, you can choose between actual costs and the annual flat rate of €1,260.
How much is the home-office flat rate and what is the annual cap?
€6 per day worked from home, for at most 210 days a year, so €1,260 at most. The flat rate covers all room costs: you cannot deduct rent, electricity, or heating on top of it.
What counts as a home study?
A separate, enclosed room used almost exclusively for work. A desk corner in the living room, a walk-through room, or a guest room with a bed will not be accepted by the tax office.
Which records should I keep?
For the daily flat rate, a list of the days you predominantly worked from home. For a home study, also the floor area of the room and of the home, rent and utility statements, and receipts for furnishing and renovation.
