The clock ticks: submission of the tax return is imminent

Gladbeck (dpa/tmn) - By October 31, the income tax return of 2020 must be at the responsible tax office.For example, employees who received short -time work money of more than 410 euros are obliged to submit them.

But taxpayers who have received other wage substitute benefits - such as health, parent or unemployment benefit - are also obliged to submit the tax return.Since October 31 is a Sunday, the delivery period is extended to November 1st.This is pointed out by the "Wage Tax Aid for Employees" association.In federal states in which November 1 (All Saints' Day is a holiday, the gallows period ends at the end of November 2nd.

Taxpayers who can be created by a income tax relief association or tax advisor will only end in the coming year on May 31.Anyone who ignores the dates must expect a letter from the tax office.In the event of tax returns submitted too late, there is a risk of delays of at least 25 euros per month.

According to the income tax aid association, it depends on the individual case whether short -time workers from 2020 have to pay taxes or get reimbursed.For example, there is a difference whether the short -time work was only on a daily basis or included entire months.In principle, the association advises to exploit all tax benefits by asserting relevant expenses.For example, the HomeOffice flat rate of five euros per day for a maximum of 120 working days or purchases for the home in the home are important.
