Re: Proposed tax changes from 01.01.2025 (Jahressteuergesetz 2024)

I thought this thread is regarding general tax changes so I put the question here. Just saw somewhere people talking about these percentage changes. How about changes on tax bracket values. Just saw somewhere that 42% is becoming 45% and 45%>48%. Is that now in place or just people talking about the...

Re: Proposed tax changes from 01.01.2025 (Jahressteuergesetz 2024)

How about changes on tax bracket values.
Just saw somewhere that 42% is becoming 45% and 45%>48%.

Is that now in place or just people talking about these changes?

Re: where can US citizens open investment accounts?

I don't think that any German institution would work with US citizens. Yet to hear about one.
There is a problem with some bank officers even if you want to open just a regular Savings account.

Re: International travel health insurance outside Germany

Hello,

We are having HUK/Barmer insurance, 28.00 EUR per year for a family. We had a case with them and they were really supportive.

Re: refund of employer share of pension

Seeing what is involved into a pay tax calculation, I would really like to see an employer that would go through with a Netto pay in an amployee contract. You are refering to this sentence: "War mit den Versicherten ein Nettoarbeitsentgelt vereinbart, wird der von den Arbeitgebern getragene Bei...

Re: Why are you happy today?

Thank you for checking!

I was voting since 2010 from outside of the USA, and my registration was saying "Until I am eligible'.
For sure will go through it.

Thanks again!

Now that you have mentioned Absentee Ballot, when are they supposed to be received?

Re: Temporary car insurance for a car with US license plates

Right, this add on has to be done in advance, and I will for sure let them know about the requirements in Germany.

Thanks.

I didn't go through the process, just forwarded the page to my friend.
However, this is what they say on their page regarding prices: https://www.tourinsure.de/wp-content/up ... per_en.pdf

Temporary car insurance for a car with US license plates

Hello, I was searching TT, but no topic like this was found. Friends from the US will come to Europe for a longer visit (less than 6 months) and they will bring their car with them here. Is there an insurance in Germany that would cover nonresidents with foreign plates for a short period (1-3 months...

Re: Transportaton research - Women and Finta community

Based upon Fruity`s research, I would say that the concept is too complicated . It also discriminates against men! Why not simply make a name for yourselves driving these people around and let verbal marketing do the rest for you? On the other hand, I could imagine that you might also attract the w...

Re: Gift/inheritance tax - can it be avoided if money is transfered temporarily?

Not answering your question but trying to highlight one other restriction, possible red flag. If you are talking about more than 10K being transferred from an account that is not your personal one, pretty much any bank will ask for clarifications, do possible freeze or something along those lines.
