I've been working completely from home since 2024 and my employer pays me a home office allowance. Now I'm not sure whether I have to pay extra taxes on it or if it's treated like regular salary. Does anyone have experience with this?
In my case, the home office allowance is simply treated like regular salary and is subject to income tax - so there's nothing special about it. Your employer should already be taking this into account in your payroll and taxing it accordingly, so you don't need to worry about it yourself. If you're unsure, just check your pay stub - it should be listed separately there. If you have any questions, your tax office or a tax advisor will be happy to help you out.
The home office allowance is taxed completely like regular salary - your employer already deducts it from your paycheck, so you don't need to worry about it separately. So it's not like you have to pay anything extra on top or file a separate tax return 😊 As long as your employer calculates it correctly, you're all set.
