Answer
XING is a business platform and serves to set up, manage and maintain a network of business contacts. If the platform is used exclusively for professional purposes, the monthly fees paid for Premium membership can be offset as a business-related expense or advertising expense according to German tax law. Please contact your tax advisor for further details relating to your particular case and the ProJobs membership. If you also use XING for private purposes, the monthly fees are not tax deductible.
