What are the taxes on rental income?

Taxes on rental income can vary because the personal income tax rate you pay on other income also applies. In the lowest case, this is currently 14 % ‑ the so-called input tax rate. From this 14 %, the tax rate progressively increases with increasing taxable income up to the highest tax rate of 42 %.

What are the differences between short term and conventional rentals?

The biggest difference between short-term rentals and classic rentals is the rental period. Short term landlords can rent their property for a maximum of 6 months, with classic rentals the contract is for a minimum of 15 months depending on the type of contract. The duration of a short-term lease is usually a few days to a few weeks, but always less than 6 months.

What is a PACHT lease agreement?

A 5 year PACHT lease is a long-term lease. The tax will be determined individually, so the type of contract does not matter.

Who is not liable to tax on income from rental property in Germany?

If parts of an owner-occupied flat, an owner-occupied family house or another house used by the taxpayer as a whole are temporarily rented out and the income from this does not exceed 520 € in the tax year, the taxation of the income can be waived with the taxpayer's consent for the reason of simplification.

Which expenses related to income can landlords deduct?

The most common deductible expenses related to rental property include:

property tax,
loan costs,
accounting costs,
costs of repairs and renovations to the property, travel costs,
insurance,
costs of operation of the property,
financing costs (e.g., appraisal, notary, land registry fees),
advertising costs,
street cleaning, garbage collection, etc.,
debt interest on rental property financing,
building depreciation.

When is the deadline for filing a tax return?

Everyone who is required to file a tax return must file a return for the 2022 taxable year to the tax office by September 30. If the return is completed by a tax adviser or association for income tax assistance, the deadline for filing is extended to 31. July 2024.
If you file voluntarily, you have four years to file your return with the tax authorities, i.e., until 31. December 2026 for 2022.
If you miss the deadline, you must expect a penalty from the tax office.

What happens if I don't file my tax return?

A penalty for failure to file a tax return will be assessed if you have failed to file a tax return despite a notice from the tax office.

Which documents do I need to file a tax return for rental property tax?

The following documents must be provided to file your tax return:

a questionnaire with information about the property,

ID, in case of joint filing by both spouses,

permanent residence,

worldwide income.

The purchase contract and other documents related to the property may be requested by the tax office. In such case you must provide these documents.
