Additional payment of income tax

If you have had two or more employers in one year or have changed jobs and earn more in your new job, you must make a tax adjustment. This often leads to an additional additional payment because each employer bills individually and cannot take other wages/salary into account. That's what tax law wants - and it's legal. BUT does the additional payment really have to be as high as it seems, or can it be legally reduced? Yes, you can significantly reduce this additional payment through tax exemptions and deductions. RelaxTax will help you with that!

In most cases, there are even smaller tax credits due to the many deduction options such as business expenses, special expenses, AVAB/AEAB or family bonus!



In the most beautiful official german law text it is said as follows:


Zu einer Nachzahlung kann es insbesondere kommen, wenn mehrere lohnsteuerpflichtige Bezüge gleichzeitig bezogen wurden und bei der Lohnverrechnung keine gemeinsame Versteuerung erfolgt ist. Dann berechnet jede bezugs- oder pensionsauszahlende Stelle die Lohnsteuer nur für die von ihr ausbezahlten Bezüge oder Pensionen. Insgesamt ergibt sich dadurch eine zu geringe Lohnsteuer.

Bei der Arbeitnehmerveranlagung werden diese Bezüge so besteuert, als hätte die/der Steuerpflichtige den Gesamtbetrag in Form eines Bezugs erhalten. Sie/er wird also jemandem gleichgestellt, der nur ein Dienstverhältnis hat, aber ebensoviel Gehalt oder Pension bezieht, wie ihr/ihm aus mehreren Bezügen zugeflossen ist. In solchen Fällen sind regelmäßig Vorauszahlungen zu leisten, die mit der Steuernachforderung gegengerechnet werden und sie verringern oder dazu führen, dass es zu keiner Nachzahlung kommt.
