The Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt) has the task of assigning each taxpayer an identifier. This must be stated in applications, declarations and notifications to tax authorities.
For this purpose, natural persons received an identification number in 2008. Economically active people are to receive an economic identification number in the future.
The following economically active persons will receive an economic identification number:
- natural persons who are economically active,
- legal persons and
- Associations of persons.
Sole traders and freelancers will thus receive an economic identification number in addition to the identification number. In this way, the operational area can be clearly separated from the personal area.
A point in time for the assignment of the business identification number has not yet been determined.
