Beppi you are so judgmental. I hope not every German is like you.

i do struggle to find an appartment in HH too because the agency didn鈥檛 want my renter to sublease. I just heard it now at the first wee of my contract and I have to find something ASAP.

So Beppi try to learn empathy first.

@Julie Sarah86 Sorry if the regulations in Germany lack empathy - above I described just the formalistic truth and not my personal opinion. (I could rant about heartless buerocrats for hours but that would not change anything. Thus I decided to stick to the facts.)

The housing shortage in many German cities is another big but unrelated problem. Legal requirements must still be met - there is unfortunately no way around that. In theory, you can register wherever you stay (even in a hotel, or temporarily at a friend's place), but it may be difficult to get the needed signature in such cases.

I do not understand your statement "the agency didn't want my renter to sublease". Maybe you can explain what you mean and how we could help you?

Inappropriate comments!

Not fair to claim a lack of empathy just because one points out factual rules. Rules are rules whether one likes them or not. Beppi is not making them. We can advise by saying how things work - or just tell people what they want to hear despite being incorrect... We know that many situations are complex and the best way to help is making clear how the rules work, not deny them.

But to the subject matter. It is correct that it can take some time before one gets their Tax ID number. What is important for an employer is to know that the employee is legal to work in Germany and has applied for their number. It should then be noted once it is assigned. What doesn't work are rationalizations that one somehow can work in Germany without such a number. And yes, such incorrect claims have been made on this site.

Hi

I find all your comments interesting. We live in Germany (last 3 years),聽 but get all our Income (pensions, anuities, part-time work) from the uk and are still paying taxxes there.

We need to get our German tax status sorted. Can anyone help with advice on where to turn? Please asap!!!!!!

Kind regards HS

@hannesampson You should probably engage a good tax consultant (with experience in international matters). Ask around locally, check on the web or, as a last resort, search the official list of all registered tax consultants (available in German only):

You will definitely have to pay tax (and social security dues) in Germany on most or all of your world income. Whether you will be double-taxed in the other country remains to be seen, but is certainly made more complicated by Brexit. Sometimes, tax paid elsewhere can be offset from German taxes. Only a good tax consultant can sort this out for you - and also advise on ways to prevent being penalized for not declaring earlier (which can be a criminal offense!).

聽 聽 Hello,I'm soon starting work in Germany, but for various reasons I probably can't get an Anmeldung, and therefore not a Tax ID. I have confirmed that it is possible to work without a Tax ID, but I will automatically be taxed at class 6 (the highest class), paying about 10-20% more than I would normally (tax class 1). Question: Can I get the difference back when filing the tax return at the end of the year? (there's no need to remind me that I really should just get an anmeldung)聽 聽 聽 聽 -@jakoora

I don't know where you got this information but one MUST register thier residency, whether they work or not. And everyone who works has to get a tax number. A question is if you have any right to work in Germany. If a Polish citizen as the profile suggests, then it is OK. But The only scenario I come up with is that someone is trying to give work unofficially and keep it hidden and off the book. Sounds fraudulent, both illegal for the employer aned employee. Puts one at risk of being mistreated, wages or benefits stolen and/or being caught, deported and banned. But don't take my or anyone else's word for it; ask government officials for clarification.

Sorry, Tom, but you are wrong: You can terminate the registration of your residence and be counted as 鈥漢omeless鈥� (which has serious disadvantages, but is possible).

And someone living abroad but near the border also has no German registration.

Both can work here and then need to pay tax. This method of getting a tax ID is for them!
