Depending on what kind of contract of employment you have and how much you earn, you could be liable for income tax.
If you are liable to pay income tax, you must submit your tax identification number to the Human Resources Department. You will receive the document including the tax identification number by postal mail after registering with the city for the first time in Germany. Please submit it as soon as possible. The tax identification number is issued for life, which means that it will not be sent to you automatically when you register in Germany again, as you have already received it. If you can no longer find it, it is possible to request it again.
The tax class is determined with the help of the tax identification number. Please check your pay slip to see if you are in the correct tax class after submitting your tax ID.
