agree  ViBe: or “MAY be allowed for deduction for (income) tax purposes;” the right way to ask the question should have been: “STEUERLICH geltend machen,” not just “geltend machen.”

claim for tax purposes


Explanation:
rather than 'vaildate' fiscally, as in the web ref.

Nor is claim back necessary as there is no recoupment, rather tax relief cf. a Deed of Covenant in the UK for charitable giving.

For my answer s.o. = see above.
