Based on what you are telling me, I should be able to deduct the flight training costs then. I have officially been a resident in Germany since 2015 and started my flight training in 2016 and finished in winter 2017.
Good to know. If I get the job and get based here in Germany I might send you a private message, but I am sure I will not be allowed not to work with the 3 accounting firms that collaborate with Ryanair.
