Filing Tax return
Hi Friends,
This is my first post to the forum and expect a good reply as I could see from other posts.
I am in germany on GC and was here for 7 months in last year.
This is the first time I am supposted to file the tax.
Can somebody please let me know the detail procedure for the same?
Hiring lawyer is a costly affair as I understand. Can you please advise me on this? will it help? Can I do it my self? Please note that I don't understand German at all. So any tax program, which is in German is not going to help me much.
Please advice.
Thanks,

Re: Filing Tax return
Hi,
Did u mean tax-consultant instead of Lawyer?
I would advice you to go for a tax-consultant. Which city are u anyway? Without knowing german it is difficult to do it urself, but atleast some of ur friends or colleagues who know german can help. But the question is do they have the time to help you out?
Cheers

Re: Filing Tax return
other solution will be the Lohnsteuer eV.
They are relatively cheaper than tax consultant. some verein in big city such as Münich even over service in English. Don't try to do it yourself if you can't speak german. cheers

Re: Filing Tax return
7K absolutely not possible assuming 40K-50K of Gross. otherwise german govt. should honour you by paying over and above the tax deducted from you. ha..ha..ha..
I got about 4k return showing support for my parents and child in my native country.

Re: Filing Tax return
Hello Baskey,
You said that you got 3-4K back each year for sending money back to support family.
May I know how much have you sent back to home approximately?
I would like to do so, but till now I brought the money back with me when I flied home. Considering the cost of the money transfer. I brought approximately 4K with me.
If the differences between cost (send and exchange rate) and the tax return is very big like in your case (3-4K), I will certainlly do it by money transfer.
I thank you in advance.
regards,
kusnadi
