To deduct something from the tax?

I'm a student and earned about 6500 euro gross last year and paid 900 euro in taxes to get back. Now I bought a laptop for the university last year (1300 euro). If I want to deduct this from the tax, what does that mean in numbers, do I get back more like 900 euro?

You know that you get back only too much paid taxes and proportionally working material? Be happy if it's 500 euro

With 6500 gross I'm under the tax deduction and receive all paid taxes back, I've already made for 2017 and get back accordingly 730 euro.

The maximum what the tax office refunds you is the tax paid. Accordingly, this would be the 900, -

with a gross of 6,500, - you do not have to worry about the 900, - you get back without much to expect.

Putting things in your tax bill means you can lower your taxable income and tax base.

With the notebook, however, you have z.b. The problem that the tax office likes to assume private shares (certainly synonymous with often enough has ) and the thing was too expensive to fully put it in 2018 you had to divide it so.

Since when do you get work material replaced by the tax office?

That falls then rather under advertising costs

"deduct from tax" is a hot simplification, you deduct the things you want to deduct and deduct from your earnings and then deduct the tax from the difference.

So here: 6500-1300 = 5200 euro. And now you pay taxes for 5200 euro, which is less tax than 6500 euro.

BUT, since you are under the tax deduction of about 9000 euro p.a. See, you get back all taxes anyway. Therefore, it remains at the 900 euro, because in both cases, you simply get back all taxes that have to be paid.

Very sure even. And then would only increase the "overpaid tax".

(but I have to admit I have read your answer wrong ^^)

Yes that makes sense a pity, I would be above the tax allowance then it would have made sense for me, many thanks for the competent answer

With pleasure!
