Re: Tax claim III
Mmmmmh
I´m not a spetialist, but 75% sounds me a little bit too high.
I don´t know if you are single or not. If you are single, I think is almost impossible. Married, maybe.
But BE CAREFULL. You told us you´ll work as "non resident IT ...."
This may imply you are working as a kind of Freelance (in that case you won´t get a GreenCard) and if you get one surely the company will pay you more because is supposed you have to pay some things by your own.
Nobody make gifts in Germany. This is a fact.
But another fact very important for you to know, Germans are very direct and they accept (and support) direct questions. Please ask your future boss to make CLEAR calculations, bare numbers because you need to know to decide.
Good luck

Re: Tax claim
Hi YO!
I have been told that they will apply for a work permit and Residence permit which will take 4-6 weeks. But still they said that I would not need to pay the taxes on all the salary. But it looks like it is not possible. I have asked them for details. Thanks for the suggestion.
BTW, I am a single as of now. So should I assume that I will have to pay atleast 40% tax.
Also, as I will be joining in the middle of the financial year (around may end), does that mean that I will pay taxes based on the actual salary earned in this year till December.
Maybe thats the reason my tax liability will be less.
Thanks in advance.
