Hi!
I know lil of it!!
If you want to have the tax benefits, then register(Anmeldung) your wife at your local Rathaus.Then ask for a Lohnsteuerklasse wechsel(from 1 to 3).

Re: Tax claim
Logical question.
You have to produce the marriage paper. You should do that...infact 3rd class tax is really low.

Re: Tax claim
Then its good,
I have my marriage certificate, so i dont have to take a residence permit for my spouse, So what happens after my spouse goes back after three months ? Will the lohnsteuerklasse will become eins automatically ? I find the system is very complex.
But i thank all GCs for their help to understand the system in deutschland

Re: Tax claim
well u need to show the marriage certificate (internationally recognised-u can make this in India).Your tax class will only be changed if your spouse accompanies you.So,here is the logic-make ur wife registered here and then make her visa extended,which can be done in couple of weeks after her arrival.
After that she can leave to India(dont inform pple at raathaus)on vacation and must be here again before the end of 6 months.
So in this way you can gain the tax benefits.
hope u got me.
takecare

Re: Tax claim
I know a job for your wife to do here, earning up to 100 Euro / hour - no need to pay any tax, as most people in that profession don't.
This would earn you substantially more money than any tax fraud you can think of
Oh - of course you must not tell any authorities about it...

Re: Tax claim
Dear Marc-Os
Just for your information, here we are not discussing about tax fraud as you think. (Discussing about tax claim). So i do not need your suggestion for any tax frauds.
Since you know all details, i strongly feel either your spouse or your family members are in that profession you have suggested.
Viel Spaß

Re: Tax claim with detail
Hi Marc-OS,
Sometimes you reply with such a sincerity and sometimes with such low level of words, seems little strange to me.
What people are trying to discuss here is some nitty-gritties of German Tax system and you have come up with completely strange thing. There are many nationals here who do lot of other things to claim their taxes and for many other things like GEZ savings and kids money and unemployment money but if a person is discussing a simple issue of tax saving which is a complicated law here you are giving a completely different flavour to the whole discussion. Even this small thing your own lovingly citizen (Tax Consulatnt) would tell even losing a sight for a moment.
I would just like to point out that by doing so you are just de-valuating yourself if you ever reveal your identity or else you would be successful in your mission to cleann the society with these cheaters, fraud makers immaterial from their land of origin German, brazilian, australian, indian or any other part of world.
Cheers !! to your mission and persona at all. But please try to not harm the soul purpose of GC's meeting point like Trust7.
