Five Aspects To Do If You Get An Employment Tax Notice
Germany is considered as one of the most employee friendly countries and hence the labor laws, employment tax regulations etc. are strictly followed. In such a scenario, there can be occasions when you get an employment tax notice and the first obvious reaction is to panic. But panicking is not necessary. Notices are not always for serious issues. They could sometimes be just a clerical error or payment discrepancy that can be easily resolved. Often it could be a simple fix but sometimes the problem in hand can be complex. Having an Employer of Record in Germany to deal with such matters can be a good idea. However, if you are handling the payroll yourself, all you need to be is active and transparent. Here are 5 things you can do: 1. Identify The Sender 2. Do Not Panic 3. Read The Notice Thoroughly 4. Contact Your Hired Payroll Company In Germany Immediately 5. Mark The Deadline To Reply To The Notice In Your Calendar This could further complicate an easily resolvable issue and hence should be avoided. Whether the issue is big or small, missing deadlines can cause a lot of unwanted trouble for you. If you have a payroll company on board, you should tell them the given deadline and they would take care of the rest. But still, just as a caution, setting a reminder on your calendar won’t be such a bad idea. It would ensure that the reply to the notice is on or before time and no deadlines whatsoever are missed in the process.
