We built our outbuilding in 2017. Now I plan to claim all the craftsman costs for tax purposes. It should be a nice sum with construction costs of about 40 grand just for the building. Has anyone of you already had the costs recognized (according to §35a Income Tax Act in connection with BMF of 09.11.2016) - also for larger construction projects?

katja. New construction is not possible. Only renovation, repair, maintenance.

If it is an extension, then I would submit it. My tax aunt once gave me the tip that everything I do after the official move-in can be claimed.

I hope they did not pay in cash. They also want to see bank statements with the invoice.
