Further questions?
quitt is a service for private employers of domestic help. This includes, among other things, the employment of cleaners, babysitters and nannies, gardeners or elderly carer.
quitt takes over the entire administration and accounting of the private employment relationship, regardless of the amount of the salary. This means, quitt covers mini-jobs as well as midi-jobs, part-time and full-time employments.
An official employment relationship is not only required by law, but also brings many advantages for employers.
You create a legal and fair working relationship with your gardener, have tax advantages, are covered in case of a work accident, and enjoy a right to reimbursement for absences due to illness or pregnancy thanks to the employers’ insurance.
Your gardener, on the other hand, contributes to society, has a right to paid leave and social, pension, health, and accident insurances.
Furthermore, both you and your employee may be subject to high financial penalties and claims of social security contributions, either due to a work accident or via a random control of customs duty in Germany.
The ideal time to register with quitt is before the start date of your private employment relationship, as it takes at least 2 weeks to register with the authorities and insurance companies.
Nevertheless, you can also register your employment relationship up to 4 weeks retrospectively via quitt. Please note that the first salary can only be processed after we have registered your domestic help with all authorities.
If you employ domestic help in a private household, you can get a tax reduction in the course of your tax declaration.
For a Minijob, you are entitled to a discount of 20% of the total employer costs, up to a maximum of EUR 510 per year. You enter the costs in line 4 of the household-related expenses annex.
For employment in a private household subject to social insurance contributions (midijobs and part-time and full-time jobs), you enjoy a tax reduction of up to EUR 4,000 per year. The employer costs must be entered in line 5 of the household-related expenses annex.
quitt will provide you with the necessary documents to apply for a tax refund.
