Field help: (2024) Tax office

Select here the relevant tax office.

The tax office responsible for you depends on your place of residence or company headquarters. In Germany, there are clear rules governing jurisdiction:

• Private individuals: The tax office in the district where your main residence is located is in charge.
• Companies: In this case, the tax office in the district of which the company's registered office or permanent establishment is located is in charge.
• Communities: If you own shares in a community, you should contact the tax office responsible for the registered office of this community.

The selection list used by Lohnsteuer kompakt is based on the official directory of the Federal Central Tax Office, which lists all current tax offices.

In brackets, you will also find the four-digit Federal Finance Office number (BUFA number). The last two or three digits of the BUFA number also form the first numeric block of your tax number (this varies according to your federal state).
