Employees can get a lot of money back from the tax authorities every year with the employee tax assessment. The "Krone" shows you why it makes sense to submit your own application despite automatic assessment, what you should pay particular attention to and why catastrophic losses can also be taken into account here.

Nobody has anything to give away, is the motto of many people - even wealthy ones. Many of them therefore eagerly await the beginning of March every year. This is when employees can carry out their employee tax assessment, or tax equalization for short, for the year 2024. Employers generally have to report their employees' salary and income data for the previous year to the tax office by the end of February.
