Tuition Fee Deductions in accordance with §10 Abs. 1 Nr. 9 EstG

The legal recognition of the graduation certificate is the pre-condition to be able to consider school fees for elective tax purposes – from Grade 10 – as special expenses (Sonderausgaben).

The Finance department is bound to the decisions of the (ZASt). For tax purposes the submission of confirmations from the ZASt is therefore unavoidable.

Special guidelines and provisions concerning tax deductibility of school tuition paid in Bavaria can be Found in §10 Abs. 1 Nr. 9 EstG of the German tax law. Since the School is recognised by State law as a General educational supplementary school, Munich International School meets this condition.

For students in Grades 1-9, recognition of the tuition write-off by the tax authorities (Finanzamt) happens automatically upon submission of tuition billings.

However, the regulations require students in Grades 10-12 to be enrolled in courses leading to a course of study that fulfils the national Recognition Agreement set by the KMK and the IBO. In order to satisfy these requirements, the taxpayer (Legal Guardian) must directly file a one-time application for certification from the state recognition authorities, Zeugnisanerkennungsstelle für Freistaat Bayern, confirming fulfilment of course requirements.

Please note: due to data protection laws, MIS is neither permitted to release any information to third parties, i.e. tax consultants nor submit an application to the ZASt on your behalf.

The ZASt authorities require the following:

1. A concise table listing your child’s education;
2. A photocopy of the personal data page of your child’s passport; and
3. A legally binding list of the subjects taken in Grade 11 and Grade 12.

Please also see “Beschluss der Kultusministerkonferenz vom 10.03.1986“ for details.

A “Special Payment Plan” (SPP) for the Tuition Fee is available upon written request for families who pay their tuition fees 100% ‘privately’ (i.e. families where a company pays some or all of the tuition fees for a student are ineligible). The SPP applies only to tuition fees with equal payments due on 1 July, 1 October, 1 January, & 1 April of the relevant school year and payable by direct debit only. The SPP request must be approved in advance by the CFO. A Service Fee of €500 for a SPP will also apply and be added to the first invoice.

If you wish to apply for a SPP, please send your request to accountreceivable@mis-munich.de no later than the end of May for the following school year. Requests after this date will be considered on a case by case basis. Please note that should one direct debit be revoked, full payment of the Tuition Fee would be due immediately and the approval for the SPP would be no longer valid.
