I own and rent a property in GERMANY. Should I file a tax return?

Everybody who works abroad has to pay income tax. Under certain conditions, you can receive a refund from some of the taxes you (your employer) paid. We refund tax from Germany and we can also help you get child benefit support for your children if they are younger than 18 (or 24 in the case of university students). More about our child benefit service here!

What is "PACHT" income?

If you own a property in Germany, which you rent during the year (all or a part of it), your are receiving payment from such rent. Often, this service is provided by property management companies. This is considered an income and should be properly taxed at the end of the year.

When I don´t have to file a tax return?

If your income from renting the property is lower than 520 Eur and it is your only income from Germany. Income bellow 520 Eur is exempt from income tax.

I had also other income from Germany, aside from rental.

It is possible, that you were employed in Germany and had income, from which you paid income tax. In such case, you need to file a tax return which claims all your incomes, e.g. from employment and rental. In the case of total income from all types of income, which is up to 9.744 Eur (from 2021) or 19.488 Eur (married), no income tax is payable, but a tax return must be filed.

How much taxes are paid from your rental income?

It depends on the income, between 14 % - 45 %

I received a letter from German tax office after I purchased the property.

After buying a property in Germany, the tax office will issue a tax ID (Steuernummer) and send you a letter. This ID number enables you or your tax representative to file the tax return electronically.

When is the deadline for filing the tax return?

Tax returns are due by the end of July of the following year. In case that you are represented by advisor, the deadline is prolonged by 8 months. Please note that you may need to pay a penalty or late filing fee if you fail to file your tax return.

What happens if I don´t file the tax return?

The fine for failure to file a tax return is levied if you have not filed the TAR despite the tax office's request.

Which documents do I need to file my property income tax return?

In case you have only property income to claim, you need a copy of registration of the German property and rental agreement. If you also have other sources of income, the list of documents will vary. For example, if you have income from employment from Germany, you will need your Lohnsteuerbescheinigung or other proof of income.

Why would I use services of a tax representative?

After you purchase a property in Germany, the tax office will contact you with a letter. From this moment, based on a proxy, a tax representative will take over the communication with the German tax office, inform you about deadlines, any changes in tax legislation, provide you with basic consulting and file your tax return.
