    . . Germany - the taxman cometh

    A foreign tax authority eg F-amt cannot access any details of your non-German accounts (except - as pointed out by earlier post - via a raid where you carelessely left details for them to collect). Even if they know the bank name, account, SWIFT code etc

    Getting time to pay Getting time to pay Assuming you decide to declare any additional income etc, does anybody know if the F-amt will give you time to pay, if so over what sort of time period or do they just come gunning for you with their mausers blazin'. Does anyone have experience of...

    Working in Germany

    Just caught up with this back and forth between Blighty and Edeleweiss. For what it's worth, my understanding is: UK nationals working for GCT as employees in GE were paid subsistance in UK. GCT's partner company in UK (GED) stated that this was tax free and all agreed with UK HMRC. Probably...

    . . Germany - the taxman cometh

    According to my s-berater the F-amt are aiming to eventually investigate everybody who worked through a MC. However they don't have the respource to "raid" everybody so I agree that the "audit" request is probably a pre-amble. It's NOT likely to be routine at all if your friend is working...

    . . Germany - the taxman cometh

    The reason for the visit is that they DON'T have the proof. They have reason to suspect (or they wouldn't get approval for the search warrant). But that could be anything, maybe because you take a size 9 shoe or don't like Michael Ballack. If you are visited, expect it bright and early at 0700...

    . . Germany - the taxman cometh

    Many (not all) EC countries have joint agreements to help each other in matters of tax evasion/recovery and UK-GE have such an agreement established only in recent years. This means that the GE authorities can ask UK HMRC to recover a tax debt, but I think its only possible if the F-amt have...

    . . Germany - the taxman cometh

    Investigation Investigation Not quite. I believe that the trigger is the launching of a formal investigation. You are not informed about this when it happens and there can be a delay of months before the knock on the door because that requires a warrant issued by a magistrate. The delay is...

    . . Germany - the taxman cometh

    From several reports from other expats here in GE (in different locations), there certainly seems to be some kind of nationwide crackdown going on, or at least a worrying trend for requests from the Finanzamt for papers, etc, even asking for details of "overseas paperwork" (can they get access...
