ᐅ Is a water softening system tax-deductible after building a house?

They must be explicitly listed on the invoice as labor costs separate from material costs. Only these will be taken into account.

You need to understand the purpose of the law: It is meant to discourage undeclared work. So, if you hire someone working off the books, you still have to buy the materials, but you save at least 19% Value Added Tax. Or even more. If you hire a company, you pay for the materials but you get the VAT refunded through your income tax return and at the same time receive a warranty and a proper invoice. The government says this should convince you to do it officially. K.

And is it only the labor costs that are tax-deductible? So should I only declare those?

And travel costs, meaning expenses for the vehicle—this is what most companies charge.

It depends on how accommodating the structural engineer is. We calculated the labor cost, and it was approved.

This has nothing to do with accommodation.
Anyone can deduct labor costs, machinery costs, and travel expenses from taxes. If the tax office rejects this, it is a wrong decision, and an appeal should be filed.
A descaling system should be considered modernization.

A descaling system should fall under modernization.

But not if the system was installed immediately upon completion?
