A unified tax deduction is prepared for those working remotely to compensate for the costs incurred. On the tax return, employees will be able to deduct 5 euros per day with a ceiling of 500 or 600 euros per year.
The draft bill is due to be approved in parliament in December. As the deputies believe, this will be a good help for the population. Meanwhile, it is proposed to make the tax credit temporary – to limit it to two years.
