Health check-up for managing directors
Find out here why a preventive health check is crucial for you and your career.
Why is the health check important for managing directors?
As a managing director, you are required to make strategic decisions and steer your company through various challenges on a daily basis.
Stress, irregular working hours and high demands can affect your health.
A comprehensive health check helps to identify potential risks at an early stage and take targeted preventative measures.
This not only safeguards your personal health, but also contributes to the long-term stability and success of your company.

Medical costs as business expenses
It is therefore better to have the doctor's services that are not reimbursable by the insurance company run via the company, e.g. via the company's own GmbH.
If the GmbH sends the shareholder-managing director to the doctor for a check-up, the GmbH can deduct this as a business expense.
The managing director does not have to pay tax.
Even the tax authorities see it this way.
According to H 19.3.
Wage Tax Manual, preventive medical check-ups for senior employees do not count as wages.
Case law
The tax authorities base this on a ruling by the Federal Fiscal Court dated September 17, 1982 (BStBl 1983 II p 39).
However, more recent decisions by the tax courts also confirm that employer expenses for health checks do not count as wages.
In 2009, the Düsseldorf Fiscal Court ruled that expenses paid by the employer for examinations for the early detection of cardiovascular or metabolic diseases as well as cancer screening do not count as taxable wages (judgment of 30.9.2009, 15 K 2727/08).
It is important that the examination measures are carried out in the predominant interest of the company.
In the case in question, a specialist chosen by the employer carried out the examinations and provided anonymized evaluations of all the findings.
What does a comprehensive health check involve?
A targeted health check for managing directors includes a thorough examination of your physical and mental condition.
This includes blood tests, organ checks such as kidney and liver function tests and tests to detect various infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, fungi, genital warts, genital herpes and hepatitis B. These comprehensive diagnostics enable us to identify individual health risks and take appropriate measures at an early stage.
Regular health checks not only help you to stay physically fit, but also to be mentally stronger and more resilient.
Good health enables you to perform your tasks more efficiently and make difficult decisions with a clear head.
In addition, your health check signals to your team and business partners that you take responsibility and are committed to stable and healthy leadership in the long term.
