Salary comparisons between Spanish health workers and those in other European countries are always ‘odious’. But our neighbors are often not only able to offer more competitive salaries, but also offer tax advantages with which the group does not have in Spain. Thus, those conditions that are the norm there, in Spain become almost a dream.
Alejandro Fernández Alfonso, director of the Hispaleman Agency, explains to Redacción Médica that health workers have several options, in relation to deducting taxes on the income statement. For example, they can include in the declaration of training expenses, which may be tax deductible if they are related to your job as a healthcare worker and allow you to improve your skills or gain new skills. This includes, for example, the participation in training courses or attendance at medical congresses”, explains the manager.
On the other hand, taxes can be deducted from the expenses related to the purchase and maintenance of medical equipment necessary for your work, such as stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors or medical lights. In addition, if you have to travel to a place other than your usual place of work to care for patients, German healthcare providers can deduct travel-related travel and accommodation costs.
Deduct moving for work
“If you move to another city to work at a new hospital or clinic, you may deduct moving expenses related to the transfer”, explains Alejandro Fernández. He also indicates that health workers can deduct expenses related to the subscription to medical magazines and publications.
“Expenses related to the acquisition and use of software and digital tools necessary for medical or nursing work, such as applications for patient management and medical records, may also be tax deductible, ”he specifies.
The expert comments that in general, making the income statement in Germany can be easier than in other countries, “because the German tax system is relatively clear and efficientand offers various tax deduction options for work-related expenses.”
Promotion of continuous training
It stands out, from the examples mentioned, how in comparison to other countries Germany has advantages for health workers such as the possibility of deducting taxes on expenses related to continuous training and education. “This can be very beneficial for those who wish to keep updating and improving your skills”, indica.
Remember that, as each country has its own tax system and tax regulations”, the facilities and Tax deductions for toilets can vary considerably from country to country.
