Hello In case you are regulary employed in Germay by an employer who allows remote work abroad, and you get sick or injured during the work abroad and return to Germany is not possible, how to get official Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung (sick leave certificate) for the employer? It’s not possible ...

The income from your new country of residence will not be taxed again, all it does is raise your German income tax rate on your German income. I have always seen this Progressionsvorbehalt for foreign income as some form of (hidden) double taxation and that's why I had in my subconscious it doesn't...

If you only move on 31. January 2026 then you would have unlimited tax liability up to 31.01.2026 and limited tax liability afterwards. You would still get the tax-free allowance and the Fünftelregelung (the benefit of which gets less and less the higher your income is, for high earners there is no...

Well, you are not alone. Last 3 years I have the same issue, HR is calculating less Soli during the year, and at the end I must always make additional payments to the Finanzamt.

Hello Let's say you leave Germany at the end of January 2026 and move to another EU country where you get a regular job and start paying tax income and social things there. For January you are still getting salary from regular employment in Germany, but after January and to end of the year you are l...

So, finanzamt in 8 years wasn’t able to find out that capital gains where not reported in tax income?

And they were scaring us since 2017 how they share all information between countries and have some common system in place where all this info is being available.

Isn‘t the tax on some extraordinary income, like severance, divided into next 5 years in case Fünftelregelung is used? So you don‘t pay 100% of the income tax at once, but 20% each year? My smart plan in that case would be to formally leave Germany at the end of first year and pay only first 20%. 8-...

Sorry to jump in, but I’m interested what happens if you go with this fifth rule, and permanently leave Germany at the beginning of next year and you are not tax resident anymore in Germany?
