Do Un Consultants Pay Taxes in Germany

I`m trying to figure out if I can deduct the commute from work on my tax return if I have a company car. I know I have to pay taxes on it (1% + the 0.03/km), but can I get back part of the normal shuttle allowance? Hello, My situation is very complicated and I have received contradictory answers. I am Canadian, I moved to Germany, I worked in Germany for 6 months, then I moved to Austria to work as a consultant for the UN for 6 months. I am not sure I would not be a resident for tax purposes because I still need my B.C. health card and I have bank accounts. So, at the moment, I am considered a resident of Canada, Germany and Austria. If Canada considers me a resident, I assume that I first pay taxes in Canada (the question is whether my UN income is exempt from tax or not), and then I also have to file my German taxes, as they also require it. but am I saying that I have already filed my tax returns in Canada? Should I claim the un revenues in Germany? alll very complicated 🙁 Any advice would be useful! Thank you, Tanya The calculation of foreign source income must comply with German legal requirements. This may require a recalculation of foreign income. This applies in particular to business and rental income (e.B depreciation or capital deduction recalculations). Foreign income taxes, including withholding taxes, can often be deducted from German income tax if foreign income is taxed in Germany. The BZSt reimburses indirect taxes by bank transfer and informs the applicant of the decision in writing. I am more than happy to say that our work in the area of international trade has grown and been more difficult than ever.

Countries are increasingly seeking support to ensure that their policies, infrastructure and institutions are in place to meet this challenge successfully. As the world battles this battle, we consultants can only look forward to our next contract and exciting work. The German Income Tax Act requires a lot of information when filing the tax return. It also grants various deductions and allowances. In return, the German tax authorities require numerous proofs and documents. It is therefore advisable to keep all documents, whether they come from a German or foreign source. Lack of documentation can lead to much higher taxes and a lack of knowledge can be costly. I was transferred from India to Germany by my employer in January 2019 for a new order. During this process, the employer reimbursed all costs incurred, however, the first 15 days of hotel accommodation expenses were added to the salary and therefore a significant amount was deducted from it as taxes. Do I have the right to claim it as part of the relocation costs when I file my tax return? I work in Germany with 60K per year gross. My parents are retired and live in India and they only want to send 3-4K euros a month.

They want to send me as savings so that later maybe one day I buy a house and they move here. Nothing is certain yet, but do I have to pay taxes on this money? You have already filed a tax return in India. Will these 3-4Ks, which will be around 40K by the end of the year, be considered my income? I am a German citizen, but I have never lived in Germany, only for holidays. Now I plan to move to Germany with my family and look for a job there. I have bank savings abroad that I will use to keep the family there until I find a job. Do I have to pay tax on my savings abroad? Or just “repatriate” to Germany via the money to cover my expenses there? Two advisers have agreed to share their thoughts with UN Today on the condition that we do not reveal their names. 1. On the one hand, UN advisers are treated as non-employees: we do not enjoy privileges similar to those of UN employees (no immunity rights, no tax exemption and AHV, no exemption from Swiss insurance). In fact, we are treated in the same way as anyone who works independently or privately in Switzerland.

However, as CDL holders, we are prevented from entering the Swiss labour market and applying for permanent residence and/or citizenship. Royalties paid by ITC are gross amounts that may be subject to national income tax. Consultants/sole proprietors should ask their local tax authorities if they have to pay taxes on these amounts. Extract from the General Conditions of Services of Consultants or Individual Contractors: 15. Taxes Article II, section 7 of the United Nations Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations provides, inter alia: that the United Nations, including its subsidiary organs, shall be exempt from all direct taxes, with the exception of public service charges, and shall be exempt from customs restrictions, duties and taxes of the same kind on goods imported or exported for their official use. In the event that a government agency refuses to recognize exemptions from such United Nations taxes, restrictions, fees or charges, the Contractor shall immediately consult with the United Nations to establish a mutually acceptable procedure. The United Nations shall not be liable for any taxes, duties or other similar charges payable by the Contractor in respect of amounts paid to the Contractor under this Agreement, and the Contractor acknowledges that the United Nations will not issue any declaration of profit to the Contractor in respect of such payments. Hello, I was stationed in the army in Germany from 2003 to 2007. Then I left the army in 2007, returned to the United States for a week, and then returned to Germany as a civilian, but with the logistical support of my local employer. I have only been working as a logistically supported civilian with a SOFA card on US bases since 2007. I married a German woman in 2012 and we have 2 daughters together. We have a home and the girls are in the German school system.

My wife works for a German company and pays her taxes. I am still working on the base and I still have my ID card and SOFA card. Recently, we received a letter from the tax office saying that I have to pay taxes here in Germany and in the United States. First question, is it legal? Second question: Does this also apply to me if I am covered by the SOFA agreement? Hello everyone, I am an Indian citizen living in Germany since January 2011, during all these years I have been actively investing my income (earned and taxed in Germany) in various assets such as real estate, life insurance and mutual funds in India. Now I am considering making Germany my permanent base, so I want to bring all my assets as money from various investments like real estate etc. from India to Germany. To do this, what taxes or documents I should keep in my head. Your help is really appreciated. .
