The tax refund process usually takes between 3 and 6 months from the moment the documents are submitted to the German tax office (Finanzamt). The exact duration depends on the workload of the authorities and the completeness of the submitted documents.

Yes. You do not need to be in Germany to apply for a tax refund. The entire process can be completed remotely, even if you already returned to your home country.

No. German language knowledge is not required. All communication with our team is in English, and we handle all documentation and correspondence with German authorities on your behalf.

The most important document is your income certificate from Germany, such as Lohnsteuerbescheinigung or monthly Lohnabrechnung. Additionally, we may need: passport copy, Tax ID (if available), bank account details in EUR (IBAN), and address for official correspondence. If some documents are missing, we can still review your case and help you obtain them.

The refund amount depends on several factors, including: how long you worked, your total income, how much tax was deducted, and your tax class. Many students receive several hundred euros. The exact amount always depends on your individual situation and the decision of the German tax office. We cannot guarantee specific refund amounts.

We offer two transparent pricing options:

Option 1 – Pay upfront: Service fee of 70 EUR, paid before submitting the tax refund. This allows faster processing as we submit documents immediately.

Option 2 – Pay from refunded taxes: Service fee of 150 EUR, deducted from the refunded tax amount. No upfront payment required.

The pricing is clearly agreed in advance. There are no hidden fees.

When you pay upfront, your documents are submitted immediately to the German tax office without delays. This usually results in faster processing compared to cases where the service fee is deducted from the refund. Additionally, the upfront fee (70 EUR) is significantly lower than the deferred payment option (150 EUR).

The tax refund is processed directly by the German tax office (Finanzamt). We do not use intermediaries. Our role is to correctly prepare and submit your application according to German regulations.

You can apply for the current tax year and up to four previous years, depending on your individual situation. For example, in 2024 you can still claim refunds for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

After submitting the form: 1) We review your eligibility, 2) We contact you if additional information is needed, 3) We prepare and submit your tax refund application, 4) You can track the status of your case, 5) After approval, the refund is transferred to your bank account.
