Hi,
I would like to know if the tax deductions available for real estate investors in Germany (interests on the mortgage, lawyer fees, yearly depreciation, renovation costs) are also available for people who are not residents in Germany (in my case Switzerland).
I would assume that, since the income from renting is generated in Germany, German tax laws would apply, but I need clarity on this.
I tried to contact various lawyers and real estate agencies in Germany, but so far they either haven't replied, or can't give me an answer.
Any clarity on this will be appreciated.
