New tax credit for volunteer caregivers, guardians and keepers planned the part-time work as a facilitator, trainer or the part-time care of old, sick or disabled people supported by the so-called exercise allowance head tax. Up to 2,100 EUR can be captured per year tax and social tax free. Prerequisite is that the activity in the service or order of a legal person of under public law (such as County, municipal associations, Chamber of Commerce) or an association which pursues non-profit, charitable and religious purposes, is performed. Volunteer legal workers, guardians and caregivers received, however, only an annual allowance of 500 EUR (so-called voluntary work package). Above and beyond effort packages are taxable. The Federal Council has advocated is therefore for the umpteenth time, to grant a tax credit amounting to EUR 2,100 also voluntary workers. The allowance is to be introduced from 2011. It remains to be seen whether the Government is the proposal in the context of the annual tax act 2010. A decision is to be expected in September or October at the earliest. Torsten Bogausch
