Non-deductible costs: Not everything can be claimed on your tax return!

A tax deduction is a deduction that is done by the government on taxable income. These deductions are made expenses that are incurred by the taxpayer every year against the gross income. This article will look at things that tax dedication isn’t done.

We all wear clothes, eat and occupy apartments or houses. We also travel, have entertainment in the night clubs, country clubs, sports events, carrier development, training, and education. The rules are to pay for these items after tax. But a question is usually raised if these items are deductible and if we only pay. Tax on what is leftover so as to satisfy our needs and desires with one or two of these items.

There are advantages of those people with high tax brackets; for example, if the expenditure is deductible, the taxpayer in the 50% bracket can double up these costs. Even when he or she cannot increase these deductible taxes, in turn, there would be a significant effect.

Sometimes it even get worse as every day the tax officials must look at gross income. The combination of being a civil servant scares them off, but all the prejudices must be put aside, and finally, look for benefits.

There are several questions that are raised on these matters. The first is on the approach required on the taxation of things like personal relationships, prestige leisure, and other satisfactions that come with someone’s job.

Thus it can be argued that these pleasures that come with the job are indistinguishable from other tangible satisfaction one gets from their job.it is therefore illogical, unfair to tax these benefits as this comes with them.

one is unable to measure these personal expenses and consumption accurately and cannot be distinguished if it’s personal or business for example if one has a coffee with a client in the restaurant both enjoy that time and can only be unfair to tax the client because the meeting is business-oriented.

Therefore, it is not clear how much satisfaction a cup of coffee is producing. Moreover, given that this value may vary from case to case and, it is impossible to make personal measurements that can be taxable.

Private tutoring (Nachhilfe)

A college education isn’t only for youngsters, neither education is based on tax deductions, learning is continuing process, and credit can only be claimed for you and your spouse for about four years. A credit worth of up €2,000 per year can be claimed as an education expense that leads to new and improved skills. Therefore if you are considering taking some education classes to improve yourself, or get a greener and better paying job, this can be an incentive.

Also, bringing your child with bad grades at home, the house blessing is often wrong. The child feels demotivated, and as parents, you cannot explain integral calculus tasks for a long time. It’s only unfortunate that the tutoring lessons for the child cannot be deducted from the tax. It may look different, however, if the school performance has declined because of transfer to another city. Then tax deductibility is very well given.

House insurance

Cost of the driver’s license

The rumor keeps on that a driver’s license is also tax-deductible. But unfortunately, this hasn’t been achievable until today. But, there are two exceptions to this. On the one hand, it is an expense for both a truck and bus driver’s license may be charged; this is necessary for specialized reasons. On the other hand, people with disabilities also have the opportunity to claim. All the costs in this perspective of an exceptional burden. All other people have to pay their driver’s license 100 percent themselves.

Working clothes

Some job requires specific work clothes, for instance, Construction Company. Therefore one can generally get in an agreement with the tax authorities.
