Operational Deductions
Tax law in Germany strictly distinguishes between operational expenses, "Betriebsausgaben", and special expenses, "Sonderausgaben". Some of these special or personal expenses are deductible in full and some only partially. For simplification reasons, the distinctions of the special expenses will not be extensively discussed here. Your tax attorney or tax adviser will professionally deal with this. The difference between both kinds of deduction is that only income-related expenses can create a negative result for taxation. Sonderausgaben do not create negative income. A typical example will be if you are laid off. You have no income but expenses for job applications. These application costs can give you negative income. Supposing you are doing your taxes yourself, then just claim all special deductions in full and let the tax office do the subtracting. This is a lean but mean approach – but legal.
