According to recent case law of the Federal Fiscal Court, this also applies if the husband is incapable of procreation and the wife is inseminated with the sperm of a third party (so-called heterologous artificial insemination).<\/p>\n<p>In a recent decision, the Federal Fiscal Court recognized the tax consideration of heterologous fertilization even in the case of an (infertile) woman living in a same-sex partnership with another woman. The court justified this by stating that the sterility of a woman in a stable partnership &#8211; irrespective of whether homo loge or heterologous fertilization takes place and regardless of marital status &#8211; is due to an <strong>illness<\/strong> (childlessness) and corresponding treatment expenses are therefore deductible as extraordinary expenses.<\/p>\n<p>The objection that heterologous insemination in women living in a same-sex partnership violates guidelines of the medical professional code of conduct was rejected by the court, since a corresponding explicit prohibition no longer exists.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(Further comments &amp; information on this can be found in our information letter 03\/2018 under item 2.)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1521712209056-9388fa3d-4253-3&#8243; include=&#8221;5553,5552,5551,5550,5549,5548&#8243;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Costs &#8211; heterologous artificial insemination &#8211; Tax consultant &#8211; Hagen &#8211; Holzwickede &#8211; Kamen &#8211; L\u00fcnen [vc_single_image image=\"5499\" img_size=\"full\"][ultimate_heading main_heading=\"Kosten f\u00fcr heterologe k\u00fcnstliche Befruchtung einer Frau in gleichgeschlechtlicher Partnerschaft \" alignment=\"left\"][\/ultimate_heading][vc_separator style=\"shadow\"]Expenses incurred in connection with artificial insemination due to the wife&#8217;s inability to conceive can &#8211; insofar as they are not reimbursed by a...","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[728,684,535,727],"tags":[733,732,729,730],"class_list":["post-9519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-artificial-insemination","category-extraordinary-charges","category-information-letter","category-medical-expenses","tag-artificial-insemination","tag-costs","tag-expenses","tag-heterologous"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9519"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9533,"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9519\/revisions\/9533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tunal-stb.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
