The Taxman Cometh
There are obvious advantages to being well informed and well prepared when it comes to understanding German taxation. Expatriates moving to Germany and setting up a new home after a career change or retirement - and those with a second home or investment property in the country - can benefit from getting good advice early on.
Knowing where to turn
Taxes affect everyone, so it makes sense to be well prepared by ensuring you understand taxation and your tax status in Germany: which taxes apply to you, how your tax obligations are calculated, how much you have to pay, when you have to pay it, and for what.
