Steuerklasse
Answer
1/4/07 1:27 AM
Guys please help.

am I allowed to change my steuerklasse in the middle of the year? Can one pair have for instance steuerklasse 3/5 for the first 5 months and steuerklasse 4/4 for the last 7 months in a year.
Or is it that one can have only one combination either 3/5 or 4/4 for the whole year. Even then can this combination be change in the middle of the year.

Thanks a lot.

Can someone explain whether 3/3 or 4/5 is better, and in which situations?

As a married couple, you have only two possibilities:
4/4 both pay pretty much as steuerklasse 1
3/5 where 3 is lower tax rate and 5 is higher.

you can chose who takes 3 and who takes 5. one has to calculate and decide which situation is the best combination.

To get the most out of it, unless you both have the same salary, you have to choose the combination 3/5 with the 3 for the one who earns the most.

Hi,

it doesn't really matter. Only you get/loose the money now or when you declare the tax.

Class 3/5 have to declare tax - If I amn't mistaken.!

@xadnan

in case you're married, you get the class 3, with or without kid and you will stay like that until
1. your wife moves to another country, then you need to switch back to class 1
2. you want your wife to get a Lohnsteuerkarte, then you will be requested to either change to class 3 so your wife will get class 5, or you choose a combination 4/4 or 5/3.

Hello all, i found out that it is possible to change the Steuerklasse only once per year and up to 30th November for the year.

However, one question is still not clear for me:
if we have III/V combination it will be better than IV/IV intially, but when yearly calculation is performed during the tax claim, does it really matter?
