KfW BEG funding stopped 261, 262, 263, 264, 461, 463, 464

Nothing black on the nail. Invoice including VAT paid in cash with signed receipt. (Like in the supermarket ;) ) Still not recognized because no bank transfer.

No, I did not pay like that. There was an offer and an invoice. Where is supposed to be an additional 8% on top? As I said, this has absolutely nothing to do with undeclared work. So if I pay an invoice in cash, there is nothing 'shady' about it. A bank transfer would have been just as good. Same amount! But as I said, cash payment is simply not eligible for subsidies anywhere. Even with 8% more, it would still be more worthwhile if you get a 20% refund via taxes in return. The plasterer might be a bad example, but in my case, it was the kitchen installer. The moving company also wanted to be paid in cash, but luckily I transferred the money.

Despite invoice and receipt, no 20% refund because a bank transfer must have taken place.

…
The day before yesterday, the tax office also wrote to me. They want similar documents for other trades that I declared within the framework of the tax incentive.
Unfortunately, not everything will be recognized after all, because I paid a craftsman in cash, for example. Despite the invoice and receipt, no 20% refund, as a transfer must have taken place.

Now, as someone who hates tax returns, I really have to ask a dumb question: can you deduct invoices for kitchen builders, moving costs, etc. from taxes? And get 20% back?
