Taxes

Taxing rental income, the Anlage V and deductible costs.

Rental income belongs in the Anlage V of the tax return; against it stand deductible costs from depreciation (AfA) to repairs. Landlords who skip the right deductions give money away – and risk trouble with the Finanzamt if the declaration is wrong. Property tax, too, follows new rules since the Grundsteuer reform.

These guides walk through the tax side of letting: what must be declared, what may be deducted and how Grundsteuer is passed on to tenants.
