Steuererklarung not mandatory if you dont change employee or not special income
Days ago I was venting a bit off with a friend about the fact that due to the new way Solidarity Tax is levied, me and my wife we always find ourselves owing a big amount of this tax in the Steuerklarung. This year for example is almost 1400 eur additional sum to be paid. At the end our steuererklar...

They put some money on their own in their Pension Funds and I can put small part of my salary there. By the way this Funds has a kind of guaran...

Re: My Photovoltaikanlage
How many offers have you got till now ?
Prices can vary according to the Land where you live. That offers is overpriced even for Greater Munich Area.

Hi Sorry if I may repeat myself but I want to be sure. As a "customer" is my responsibility to check just if in the invoice there's a Steuernummer but I don't have to check if it's real or if it is or not really related to the activity of cleaning service, right? Or maybe she can use the S...

I resume the thread, after an year we found a candidate..... I still did not talk in person with her, just my wife who said she was keen to whatever form of payment (minijob, invoicing, etc). I dont think she know what would mean for her Invoicing us. She is doing this as a side job, she has already...

I did some research after I received my Grundsteuermessbetrag days ago. It looks like that in Bayern, conscious of the crazy values for properties, they decided to recalculate the Grundsteuermessbetrag in a different way in order to not have crazy increase of Grunsteuer. It is all just based on the ...
