From 1 September 2024, stricter regulations for liquids in hand luggage will apply again
Anyone who has not yet submitted their tax return for 2023 needs to hurry. The deadline is in September. There are also other important and interesting events in September. Here is an overview.
In September 2024, there could be more money for consumers in some places. Things are also changing in travel and there will be political changes in Germany, as new state parliaments will be elected in three federal states and the summer recess in the Bundestag will end.
An overview of important deadlines and changes in public and private life in September that could impact planning and activities:
Deadline for tax return 2023
Taxpayers who do not file their 2023 return through a tax advisor must do so by September 2, 2024.
Organ donation declaration via health insurance app
By September 30, it will be possible to submit declarations regarding organ and tissue donation via health insurance apps.
State elections in three federal states
The elections will take place on 1 September in Saxony and Thuringia and on 22 September in Brandenburg.
End of reservation requirement for international trains
The requirement to reserve a seat on long-distance trains abroad, which was temporarily introduced because of the European Football Championship, ends on September 1st. The exception is the Munich-Zurich route, where it will remain in effect until October 5th.
Deadline for final settlements for Corona aid
Companies that have received Corona aid must submit final accounts by the end of September. These are necessary to compare the grants originally requested with those to which the applicants are actually entitled.
Again stricter rules for hand luggage
From September 1st, stricter regulations for liquids in hand luggage will apply again. Passengers will then only be allowed to carry liquids in containers of up to 100 milliliters and must pack them in a transparent plastic bag with a volume of no more than one liter. The liquids rule was temporarily suspended at some German control lanes. This relaxation applied when hand luggage was checked with new types of luggage scanners based on the computer tomography (CT) technology known from medicine. These scanners should be able to better identify potentially dangerous substances in luggage. However, the EU has now expressed concerns about the reliability of these CT scanners.
Receipts for heating subsidies
As planned, from the end of September, the first group of applicants for the KfW heating subsidy will be able to submit the invoices and receipts for projects for which they have applied for a subsidy. This will be done digitally. Among the first to be allowed to submit the application in February are owners of single-family homes who use the house themselves. A spokeswoman for the state development bank KfW explained that the subsidies are expected to be paid out at the end of October after the checks have been completed.
Mont Blanc Tunnels Breakdown
Due to construction work, the Mont Blanc Tunnel will be closed for 15 weeks from September 2nd. Traffic will have to use alternative routes during the work.
Meeting of the Bundestag
The Bundestag will resume its sessions after the summer recess on 9 September, starting with the budget week.
