Why you get money back
Tax is worked out for a whole year. You worked only a few months.
That is why more is often withheld from your wages than you actually owe. The difference is yours, and you can get it back.
-
Lohnsteuer
It is taken from your wages
In Germany, your employer automatically withholds income tax from every payslip and pays it to the Finanzamt.
-
Kalenderjahr
The tax is yearly
The amount is worked out as if you worked all twelve months. On a few months of income, more than necessary is often withheld.
-
Erstattung
The difference comes back
After the year ends, the tax return shows what you really owed. Whatever was withheld on top goes back to your account.
Every case is different. Your documents show the exact amount.

Frequently asked questions
Didn’t find an answer? Write to us and we’ll reply.
Yes. You send us the documents and we take care of the rest: we check them, prepare the tax return and send it to the Finanzamt.
Mainly the Lohnsteuerbescheinigung, a scan of your ID card or passport, your IBAN bank details, and a statement from RS.GE of your annual income for the year whose Steuer you want back. Four documents in all.
The Finanzamt sets the timing, and how long the refund takes differs from person to person. Our part, preparing and sending the tax return, starts as soon as you send us your documents.
Yes, you can get your Steuer back from Georgia too: you don’t need to be in Germany to send the tax return.
No. You talk to us in Georgian, and we fill in the German forms.
If you have your documents at hand, the “Basic” plan is enough. If you would like us to handle the correspondence with the Finanzamt as well, choose the “Full” plan.
One-off. You pay for one tax return; there is no monthly fee.
