Re: German taxation of foreign interest bearing account

Is there anything to be filed if you don’t sell?
I am thinking of just buying ETFs for now without any selling.

Re: Americans - US Passport Renewal & NE

What would tax/inheritance wise change if you would get a German citizenship too?
I would probably apply for it too, If my German was not an obstacle for me to get a citizenship.

HA, the reply came in today.
What are the odds of waiting for a month and a half, and to get it on a day I post here a question :-)

Btw, it came by snail mail, even you asked the question electronically.

Re: Elster, used it for the first time today!

Looks like that my prayers were not good enough, I still didn't get a reply on my request.
Does anybody have any idea what can I expect regarding timeframe for a reply?

Thanks.

Re: US/Germany Double taxation

Hello Panda, What would be different, taxwise, if I was working for a non-American company at that time? Or, if the company I am being paid by gets sold by the the parent company and I again go to the US for a short period of time and work remotely from there? Something like being a Digital Nomad. W...

Re: New (recalculated) land tax

Got the new calculation today.
Munich, Kleinhadern.
The old sum was 210 EUR per year, new one is 243 EUR, a 15% increase.
Not too bad.

Re: Attractive PayBack deals

I see Edeka stores as franchises, maybe that is the reason why points are not rewarded in each of them?
is Netto cheaper brother of Edeka, like Penny of Rewe?

Re: Extra bill from electrician - legal?

If you are paying for Rechtsschutzversicherung, call them and ask about phone consultations. They usually have somebody that would call you.
We have utilized them in a couple of situations, at least they can tell you what are your options.

Re: Starting a business: Germany vs. USA

Well, at places like a village market people talk about stuff they buy, ask questions about the product, allergens, especially the well known. This came to my attention due to a conversation couple of us had this weekend. Friend of mine made a great hot sauce and brought me a couple of jars. Of cour...

Re: Selling house through Makler…..what to expect

Isn‘t it that the commission of 3% is to be split between seller and buyer, or each is paying that much? We sold at the start of last year without a Makler and it really couldn't have been easier. There was a stream of slimy so-called professionals who answered our advert on Immoscout, which specifi...

We have submitted an objection (Einspruch) in today!

First time used it for tax purposes, it is Christmas Eve, so I am hoping that extra prayers will be helpful :D

Re: New (recalculated) land tax

We have received new calculation back in 2022 or so, and our at that time steuerhilferin told us not to worry about it since it would be recalculated. However, we haven’t received anything new after that. Should we just wait or look somewhere for the new calculation? Don’t want to be punished for bu...
