The German taxes you paid may have been higher than necessary, without you being aware of it. Recovering these taxes is a legal right, but the process can seem complicated if you are not experienced in the tax field. With clear steps and the right information, you can recover your money safely and stress-free, and the whole procedure becomes much more manageable than it seems at first glance.
Why is it worth recovering taxes in Germany?
Many Romanians do not know that they can get back significant amounts of taxes paid in Germany. This money belongs to you and can be used for both daily expenses and savings or personal plans.
The advantages of recovery are obvious:
-
you can request a tax refund for the last 4 years;
-
the minimum amount that can be recovered is 250 euros;
-
your children can benefit from monthly allowances of 250 euros;
-
the procedure is completely legal and complies with the regulations of the German authorities.
These benefits make tax and allowance recovery a real and accessible opportunity for all those who have worked legally in Germany.
Required documents for the file
In order for the tax recovery process to run smoothly, it is important to have all the necessary documents ready. Each document has a clear role in proving the taxes paid and your personal situation, and a complete file significantly speeds up the process.
Tax documents
These are proof that you have paid your taxes correctly and include:
-
Tax slip or salary slip, which shows the exact amounts withheld;
-
Other tax documents that, if you no longer have them, you can obtain from your employer in Germany, for a fee. These documents are essential to prove payments and calculate the amount that can be recovered.
Personal documents
In addition to tax documents, the German authorities also request documents that prove the identity and civil status of family members:
-
Parents’ bulletins for identity verification;
-
Marriage certificate or divorce decree, if applicable;
-
Children’s birth certificates, required for family allowances;
-
Bulletins children, if they are over 14 years old, for their official identification.
By combining these documents, you will have a complete file ready for submission, so that the German authorities can process your application quickly and efficiently. This way, the chances of recovering German taxes and benefits increase considerably, and the whole process becomes clearer and smoother for you.
How does child benefit recovery work?
Germany offers each child a fixed monthly allowance of 250 euros, regardless of how many children the family has. This money is available until the child turns 18 years old, and for young people who continue their studies, the allowance can be extended up to 25 years old.
The recovery process is carried out retroactively for the last six months. After deducting the processing fee, the actual amount that reaches the family is approximately:
-
175 euros for an allowance of 219 euros;
-
200 euros for an allowance of 250 euros.
These allowances represent real support for any family and are worth it requested, as they can contribute significantly to the monthly budget and the financial security of the children.
How long does the recovery process take?
The duration of the recovery process may vary depending on the type of file. For allowances, processing usually takes at least 3 months from the submission of documents, while for taxes, the waiting period can be between 4 and 12 months.
It is good to know that the exact time depends on the German authorities, but once the file is complete and accepted, the money arrives directly in your account, without unnecessary delays, giving you peace of mind that your financial rights are respected.
