How to file a tax return in Germany


Tax Returns for Students or Studentensteuererklärung is not as difficult as it seems. Students can get upto €6000 Euros Tax refund in Germany for their first Studies or Unlimited amount of tax refund for their second studies in Germany.

Taxes are an essential component levied by the Government. Anyone who has earnings in Germany can claim back part of the income tax which they have paid throughout the year.

Studying is expensive. Fortunately, as a student, you can claim back many of your study costs on your tax return. But the topic of taxes can overwhelm many students so they either do not think about taxes or do the bare minimum to get a refund. I often asked my seniors about tax returns and they either didnt know anything or just said to do the bare minimum, so here is some information for you to get started.

Lets start with the basics:

For all mandatory filers the deadline is the 31st of July of the following year. So for 2022 one has till the end of July 2023 to file a tax return.

What can be claimed in a tax return?

Education fees
Transportation Costs
Job applications
Relocation costs
Telephone and internet costs
Electronic gadgets
Other equipment
Any realized losses from your investments
Any many others that I might have forgotten

An important thing is to keep proof of things whenever possible, this will help you manage expenses and help you later on when you are applying for a tax return

How to file a tax return

The are many options available
1. Elster (official Program by the Govenment)
2. Tax Consultant (often very expensive and mostly used by professionals)
3. Tax Aid Associations (also mostly used for complicated tax situations)
4. Online platforms (wundertax,taxfix etc)
5. Softwares (Wiseo, Quick Steuer etc)
6. Submitting manual papers (due to covid it might not be available in many Cities)

Choosing a platform depends on the complexity of the taxes, in most cases it is better for students to go for Online platforms which cost 29€ onwards One can go for Elster but it is in German language and is too complicated even for German nationals (but it is free).
