Tax related - Second house and Relocation

Umschalten
Hello friends,

Some of my friends recommended this forum and have joined very recently. I look forward to receive responses from tax experts.

Thanks in advance for your time, help and suggestions.

My wife recently got a job in another city. For the same, she will be staying in a WG in the new city till we find a new house. We plan to relocate to the new city.

My questions are regarding tax claims -

1. The WG room involves some renovation cost.
Can these costs (against bills) be claimed as expenses (one time)?

2. We come to know, my wife can claim 'expenses incurred due to being away from home / husband' for work reasons depending on the number of hours.
eg - food expenses

I do not know the exact name of this clause in German. It is related to the number of hours a person is away at work.

Any idea what this is ? Is it applicable in my wife's case ? Any links to this clause ?

3a. During relocation - apart from petrol and cost of Transport wagon, what other expenses (eg packing material, house cleaning, painting) can be accounted as expenses?

3b. Is there a relocation Pauschal that we can claim as a family / my wife (separately) if we decide not to hire professional services for our relocation.

Best Regards,
Raj n Laxmi

The second house rent can be accounted and the commuting costs to primary home but no the cost of food and other stuff.
Relocation expenses can be declared but its not legal to give tax advice.
So better consult a tax consultant for some expert advice.
