Are you on social security and do you want to receive reimbursement for your travel expenses? Inquire about this at your local government office.<\/p>\n<h4>Living together with someone residing in an institution<\/h4>\n<p>Do you live together with the person you take care of? Was this person admitted to a care facility for a longer period of time? Then, under certain conditions, your expenses for visiting the patient might be tax deductible. In that case your travel expenses will be categorized as \u2018specific healthcare costs\u2019.<\/p>\n<h4>The travel expenses for visiting your beloved patient are deductible under the following conditions:<\/h4>\n<p>You and the patient shared a household when the illness started.<br \/>\nYou visit the patient regularly during the year.<br \/>\nThe patient is being tended to for more than one month.<br \/>\nIs the patient being admitted several times a year? Then you are only allowed to deduct the travel expenses if the patient was treated at the facility for more than a month in total and for the same illness every time. In addition, the time between the periods of treatment may not exceed four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>If the one-way travel distance between your place of residence and the location where the patient is being treated (measured along the most direct route) is more than 10 kilometers.
