Hi all,
As I am leaving Deutschland this month, i had been to a tax berater this morning and got clarified few things. Thot these info might be useful for others,
1. I can claim all my flight trips to home, if i have a house/apartment in my homeland. This is considered as double housing.
2. Because of double housing, I can get back about more than 10% of my monthly rental paid in deutschland
3. Also eligible for claming for the makler provision.
4. Parents support is upto 2500¬ per year can be claimed.
5. The first arrival air ticket and the last leaving air ticket can also be claimed.
6. The monthly storm bills can also be submitted for claims, I am not sure about more details here as i am paying warm miete.
7. I can submit claims, had i bought any furnitures in my house.
8. During the period when my wife was not here, i can claim for her supporting expenses.
9. As a foreigner, i am eligible to claim approx 20¬ for the first 90 days here. I was told this is a rule in finanzamt.
10. The telephone bills can also be submitted.
Plus few other things, like taxi bills, travelling expenses if ur workplace is far etc.,etc.,
I have to pay 600¬ for the year 2004 as fees and i will get back 26% of this in my 2005 tax declaration. I am not sure whether this fees is too high or not. But i was told this includes, the documentation, Mwst, also this is set based on a person salary. If it is a straightforward tax declaration only with Lohnsteuerkarte it is only 200¬ plus Mwst. I would like to have your views, whether this fee is reasonable. But I was guaranteed that i will get a minimum..minimum 2500¬ to 3000¬ back from finanzamt.
Would like to have your views. Thanks and Regards, Asian

"So, I went to her to collect back the documents and she was not ready to give back any documents!! She said, the work is almost complete, and i just need to sign and pay her, that is it!!"
i guess you learned a lesson? NEVER give original documents to anybody. make copies

Ja, it was a lesson, I was told in the phone it would cost around 200¬, the other reason was me to give all documents, because i wanted to finish everything on that day itself as i am running short of time. I am not really expecting any big sum from the finanzamt, as long as the returns are more than my SB fee it is fine.
