TAX DEDUCTION
Tax Credit For Household
Simply put, tax credit means that you can benefit from it through your personal taxes.
When you purchase services for your home, by claiming the tax credit for household expenses, you’ll get 35% of the service cost back. The credit threshold is 150 € per person.
You can use the tax credit for household expenses when you purchase cleaning services for your home or holiday apartment. (Note! You can also claim the tax credit if you purchase cleaning for your parents’ or grandparents’ home, but not for your children’s homes.)
You’ll get the work done with a 35% lower price since the government covers the difference. This ensures that the service provider & cleaner receive fair compensation for their work.
Share the Household Deduction with Your Spouse
The household deduction is a personal deduction, and you and your spouse can receive a deduction totaling up to €3,500 per year.
If your cleaning costs are less than €1,750, you can choose to claim the deduction for tax purposes individually, ensuring you only pay the deductible once. If the total value of your cleaning services exceeds €1,750 per year, you can split the bills as you wish and take full advantage of the maximum household deduction.
Note! Only the cleaning service itself is tax deductible. Any additional service fees (e.g., €9.90) are not considered part of the deductible service cost.
