Finance & Taxes

Do I have to file a tax return in Germany?

Employees with only one job are usually not required to, but can voluntarily file and receive on average about 1.100 € back. Filing is mandatory, among others, for Steuerklasse III/V combination, additional income over 410 €, or severance payments.
