The deduction for 2-year loans is a rather unknown deduction. It applies, for example, if you have a consumer loan, a quick loan, an overdraft or other loans that must be paid back within 2 years. In these situations, you are actually entitled to the deduction and you have to remember to report it yourself.
It is one of the deductions for expenses to banks and loan providers that is not automatically reported, like the deduction for guarantee commission. We guide you through it in this article.

When you take out a loan, for example a consumer loan, you typically pay some costs to the bank when you set it up, known as 'set-up costs'. This could be a fee for setting up the loan with them.
This kind of cost can be deducted if your loan is for less than 2 years. Many consumer loans, quick loans, etc. do. For unknown reasons, it is not a legal requirement that the provider, e.g. the bank, reports this amount, as they do with several other kinds of loans.
The calculation of the deduction itself is based on the costs you have paid. However, it depends on the amount you have borrowed ('principal'), e.g. in the first year you can get a maximum deduction of 2.5% of the principal. In addition, you should pay attention to all the other conditions listed below.
