Taxes and the Corona-Sonderstipendien (COVID-19 Special Stipends)

The independent arts community is currently thinking a great deal about the topic of taxes and stipends. Income tax is especially an issue of dispute: will the Corona-Sonderstipendien (the COVID-19 special stipends awarded by Berlin’s Senate Department for Culture and Europe in 2020) be subject to taxation? What has to be taken into account in the tax assessments? Can corrections still be made? Moritz Malsch, amongst other things one of the co-founders of Lettrétage as well as a founding member and board member of Netzwerk freie Literaturszene Berlin e.V., will provide an overview of the current situation. The NFLB is also asking for donations to help cover the legal expenses: www.betterplace.org/p105016
