Save tax during or after your studies, even though you don't pay any yet? Sounds strange. But it is possible! Costs that you incur during your education can be deducted from your taxes later. Here we explain exactly how this works and which documents you need for it.

Many of you have wished that you could manage documents together. The latest order form should be easily accessible to all colleagues, your partner's payslip should also be included in your joint tax return, the electricity bill should also go to your flatmates and your tax advisor needs more than just one document. At the same time, it is important to you that security is also guaranteed with this form of collaboration. We have thought about all this and have a proposal that we present to you today.

The start of your studies also brings a number of changes - a new city, lots of new people, a completely new everyday life. If your studies follow on seamlessly from your A-levels, you will also be responsible for your own affairs for the first time - including your paperwork.
