Do you use this technology in your work as well as in your private life?

The cost of all technology that you use more than 90% professionally can be fully deducted (e.g. laptop, smartphone or monitor). Even private tech can be tax-deductible if you use it for professional purposes for at least 10% of the time. You may then deduct the costs according to the proportion of professional use.

⚠️ Work equipment that costs a maximum of 952 euros including VAT can be fully deducted in the year of purchase. If the costs are higher, you have to spread the costs over the expected useful life (you can find the official list here: https://www.bundesfinanzministerium.de/Content/DE/Standardartikel/Themen/Steuern/Weitere_Steuerthemen/Betriebspruefung/AfA-Tabellen/Ergaenzende-AfA-Tabellen/AfA-Tabelle_AV.html;jsessionid=1629DE5A4BF4DB87FD473F1323CC4DEB.delivery1-master )
