FOR EMPLOYEES
Work expenses, home office, equipment, commuting — Restio finds deductions many employees overlook, often worth hundreds of euros at filing time.
FOR FREELANCERS & SELF-EMPLOYED
Always know where you stand. Restio monitors your small business threshold (€25,000 prior-year / €100,000 current-year, since 2025), shows your income overview, and warns before things get tight. No more December panic.
FOR EXPATS
German taxes finally make sense. Restio explains Finanzamt letters in plain English and answers tax questions bilingually.
WARNS YOU BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
Restio monitors your limits around the clock:
• Small business threshold (€25,000 prior-year / €100,000 current-year, ab 2025)
• Work expense allowance (€1,230, ab VZ 2023)
• Home office allowance (€1,260, ab VZ 2023)
You get a warning BEFORE you cross a limit.
