How to use a hotel subscription as a second home to save tax:

If you use a company car, the distance from your second home to your place of work is used for tax purposes. It doesn't matter whether it's a permanent home or a hotel - both options are treated equally for tax purposes as long as you can prove the costs with receipts. A flexible hotel subscription in particular offers you the opportunity not only to save on taxes, but also to remain flexible without entering into long-term rental commitments. With the clever combination of dual household management and flat-rate taxation of the company car, you can optimize your non-cash benefit and thus reduce your tax burden

1% rule for the taxation of company cars

The private use of a company car is considered a non-cash benefit and is subject to taxation by the employee. The flat-rate taxation according to the so-called "1% rule" is often chosen for this. This amounts to between 0.25% and 1% of the list price per month, depending on the drive of the vehicle and the gross list price. Electric or hybrid vehicles often benefit from more favorable rates (e.g. 0.25% or 0.5%)

What to consider when traveling between home and work - non-cash benefit of a company car

If you also use your company car for journeys between home and work, the non-cash benefit increases further. An additional 0.03% of the list price per month applies for each kilometer of one-way travel. Particularly important: If you do not commute from your main residence, but from an alternative place to stay, such as a second home or a hotel, this distance can be used for tax purposes. This is particularly relevant in the context of dual household management. The prerequisite is that you can prove the double housekeeping with appropriate receipts (such as hotel bills).

Dual household management (hotel or second home) and commuting with a company car - using tax benefits

If you have a second home at your place of work for professional reasons, you can benefit from the tax advantages of dual household management. This regulation allows you to claim the costs of a second home or hotel accommodation as well as travel between the second home and the workplace for tax purposes. If you use a company car, the distance from your second home to your place of work is used for tax purposes. It doesn't matter whether it's a permanent home or a hotel - both options are treated equally for tax purposes as long as you can prove the costs with receipts. A flexible hotel subscription in particular offers you the opportunity not only to save on taxes, but also to remain flexible without entering into long-term rental commitments. With the clever combination of dual household management and flat-rate taxation of the company car, you can optimize your non-cash benefit and thus reduce your tax burden.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about company car insurance and MyFlexHome

The flat-rate taxation of company cars is usually based on the so-called 1% rule. This means that 1% of the gross list price of the car per month is taxed as a non-cash benefit if you use the car privately. For electric or hybrid vehicles, more favorable rates of 0.25% or 0.5% often apply. In addition, 0.03% of the list price is taxed monthly for each kilometer driven between home and work.
No, it is not necessary to have a second residence in terms of registration law in order for dual household management to be recognized. The decisive factor is that you use a second home at your place of work for professional reasons and maintain your main residence at another location to which you have a regular connection. This second accommodation can be a rented apartment, a furnished room or even a hotel. The only important thing is that you can prove the costs with receipts such as rental contracts or hotel bills. An official second home therefore does not necessarily have to be registered as long as the requirements for dual household management are met.
Yes, you can use a hotel as accommodation if you do not commute from your main residence. It is important that you can prove the double household management with receipts, such as hotel bills. The distance from the hotel to your place of work will then be used as the basis for taxing your commute.
A hotel subscription offers flexibility, as you only pay for the nights you actually stay. Unlike a second home or a furnished room, you are not tied to long-term rental contracts. You also receive regular hotel bills, which you can submit as proof of double housekeeping for tax purposes. Another advantage is the additional comfort that hotels offer, such as cleaning, breakfast or other amenities.
