Which office costs can I deduct?
For rented office space, rent, utilities, cleaning, renovation, furnishing, and internet are fully deductible business expenses. No business-share split is needed as long as the rooms are used exclusively for business.
Do the home-study rules apply to a rented office?
No. The restrictions on a häusliches Arbeitszimmer only apply to rooms inside your own home. An external office falls outside them and is deductible without a cap.
Can I deduct office furniture immediately?
Up to €800 net per item, immediately, as a low-value asset. More expensive furniture is depreciated over its useful life, which the official depreciation tables set at 13 years for office furniture.
What records do I need for office costs?
The lease, utility statements, and invoices for furnishing and renovation. Pay from your business account where possible so receipt and payment stay clearly linked.
