Questions about the German tax office

How do I find the tax office responsible for me?

It depends on where you live (§ 19 AO) or, for a GmbH or UG, where the company is managed (§ 20 AO); for VAT, on where you run your business from (§ 21 AO). Enter your town or postcode in the search to see the responsible office.

What is the tax office number (Bundesfinanzamtsnummer)?

The four-digit Bundesfinanzamtsnummer. Every 13-digit tax number in the ELSTER format starts with it. You find it on your tax office's page.

How do I register with the tax office as a founder?

With the tax registration questionnaire (Fragebogen zur steuerlichen Erfassung), which you submit electronically via ELSTER within one month of starting, without being asked (§ 138 (1b) and (4) AO). A partner tax firm can fill it in with you.
