Tax identification number, allocation to refugees and asylum seekers (BZSt)

  •  
With the introduction of the tax identification number (IdNr), the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Federal Government want to simplify the taxation process and reduce bureaucracy.
  •  

Detailed description

Refugees and asylum seekers are also assigned tax identification numbers by the Federal Central Tax Office.
This takes place in an automated process that is triggered by registering the person with the competent registration authority of the place of accommodation.

The assignment of a tax identification number is not associated with any further tax determinations, nor does it provide information about the status of the refugee. In particular, it does not contain any statements about the residence title or about a work permit. For more details see links.
