Tax Resident Abroad


Recognition as a tax resident abroad is crucial for the proper management of tax obligations in Germany. To transfer your tax residence to Germany, it is necessary to have stayed in the country for at least 185 days during a tax year. This requirement ensures that you meet the criteria set by the German authorities for the recognition of your tax residence.

By transferring your tax residence, you have the opportunity to access tax arrangements and benefits offered by German law. By taking advantage of this status, tax residents can benefit from various tax deductions and government allowances, making their financial situation easier and improving their overall quality of life.


Advantages


Among the advantages offered to tax residents in Germany are exemptions from taxes on international income and various tax reliefs. For example, as a tax resident of Germany, you may not be required to pay taxes on income sourced from other countries, provided there is a tax treaty between Germany and the country of origin. Additionally, German law offers tax reliefs such as a reduction in income tax through the basic tax-free allowance (Grundfreibetrag) and deductions for work and education-related expenses.

Specifically, the exemption from income tax and the solidarity surcharge for 50% of income from employment and business activities in Greece, applicable for seven (7) years, provides additional financial flexibility. Furthermore, the non-inclusion of the annual deemed expenditure in the tax base facilitates the process and reduces the tax burden. All these benefits highlight the importance of proper information and understanding of the process to ensure a smooth transition of your tax residency and effective management of your obligations.
