Which Feather insurance policies are tax deductible in Germany?
The tax deductibility of insurance premiums depends on the type of policy:
Public health insurance premiums are tax deductible. If you are voluntarily insured and pay contributions yourself, your provider sends a certificate confirming the previous year's contributions between mid-January and the end of February. If you are mandatorily insured as an employee of a German company, you receive a yearly salary statement from your employer at the end of the year.
Private health insurance premiums are tax deductible, and the required document is added to your private health policy in your Feather account when it's ready.
Expat health insurance premiums are tax deductible, and the required document is added to your expat health policy in your Feather account when it's ready.
Dental, personal liability, travel, and dog liability insurance premiums can be deductible, but eligibility depends on your income and is determined by the tax office.
