About the Pendlerpauschale
Employees in Germany can deduct commuting costs via the Entfernungspauschale. The allowance is independent of the transport method and applies once per working day.
- The first 20 km are eligible for 0.30 EUR per kilometre.
- Every additional kilometre is currently valued at 0.38 EUR.
- Only actual commuting days count. Exclude days of remote work, vacation, or sick leave.
- Additional expenses such as parking fees can be claimed separately if you can provide evidence.
Reminder: Keep documentation of your commuting pattern in case the tax office requests proof.
