Hello,
can someone answer this for me? About 5 months after moving into our house, we had a water softening system installed (we initially wanted to try without one but quickly scheduled a retrofit appointment – water hardness 28°) – can I claim this on my tax return?

But not if the system was installed immediately before completion, right?Actually, it is possible. I spoke with my tax advisor some time ago. Anything done after the move-in notification can be claimed on your taxes. Of course, this doesn’t include materials and is only allowed up to a certain limit.

1. The house is completely built – it is.
2. There are no remaining finishing works – there are.
3. You have not already claimed the maximum labor costs from other contractor invoices – this is unclear based on the information provided.

In the West, they often approve it like that... for us, it was still under construction and charged separately by contract.
It worked out
Especially now that you don’t have to submit receipts, sometimes it just goes through.
