Taxes

Income Tax is based on a progressive scale and will be withheld directly from your wage and paid to the tax office (Finanzamt). Fully discuss your tax position with your employer prior to accepting a job to establish how much tax and social security contribution will be deducted at source. Details of local tax offices and information on the tax system are available from the Federal Ministry of Finance:
