Deductibility of care costs
My mother is not liable for tax due to low pension income, so she cannot claim the costs for her future nursing home as a tax deduction. The monthly financing of the nursing home (€2,100) will be covered by approximately 50% through pension payments and saved assets!
Would it be possible for me - as her daughter - to take on a portion of the payments and claim these costs as extraordinary expenses for tax purposes? Or would the tax office in this case, for example, ask about my mother's financial situation and the necessity of me contributing to the costs?
If it makes sense for me to take on a portion of the costs (€500 or up to €1,000), what tax refund could I expect - with a gross annual income of about €60,000?
