You've never filed a tax return? You've missed out on a lot of money... I've already gotten €1000 back 3 times Look for someone nearby from Lohnsteuerhilfe, you won't pay much and you can give yourself some work to do
@Maddy-0 I've been getting 2.5 to 3.5k a year back from the tax office for ages. In earlier times, when I had to commute more for work, I used to get a lot more. Surely (almost) everyone now has work-related expenses, tradesmen's costs or telephone bills? And the state contributes to many things.
@DividendenMieze Yes, there are still a few points that you don't know as a layman that could help you get a bit more out of it. That's why I let you do it
@DividendenMieze There is so much you can deduct from your taxes without having to provide proof. Laundry allowance for work clothes, money for applications (postage and envelopes), books about your job, etc. That way you can get at least 150€ together.
@DividendenMieze Do you work full time? So 8 hours a day? Then you can normally enter €14 per day as additional meal expenses. Travel to the workplace and so on. There's so much for employees.
