What this guide is for
Tax questions affect many households. The guide gives orientation on deductions and deadlines, but it does not replace individual tax advice.
Typical situations
Tax refund estimates, work expenses, commuting, home office, tax class combinations, small business VAT, trade tax, and inheritance tax.
Receipts and deadlines
Deductions are safer when purpose, date, and receipt are documented. Put filing deadlines in your calendar early.
Next step
Choose a calculator, collect receipts, and plan tax advice for complex cases.
