M. Official certifications and victim passes

What tax allowances may be claimed by holders of official certifications and victim passes?

Holders of victim passes and official certifications (taxpayers who suffered from political persecution in the time from 1938 to 1945) are entitled to an additional tax-exempt amount totalling €801 per year.

Pensioners may claim this tax allowance directly from the pension insurance agency by presenting their certification/passport. The tax allowance is deductible after the end of the year in the course of the employee tax assessment, irrespective of the current payroll accounting.
