Timing is also important when filing your tax return, as missing deadlines can cost you a lot of money. If you are obliged to submit a tax return, the tax office expects the documents from you by July 31st every year.
But because of Corona, there were exceptions that still have an impact: The tax return for 2022 was not due until October 2, 2023, and the deadline for the 2023 tax year expires on August 30, 2024. “Normality” should not return until the tax year 2024, then the tax return is due at the end of July 2025.
The deadline should be adhered to, otherwise the tax office can impose penalties such as late payment surcharges or estimates. Anyone who is not obliged to submit a tax return, for example employees with tax class 1, does not have to meet this deadline. You then have up to four years retroactively to submit your tax return.
If the deadline is missed, the tax office will no longer recognize the tax return because it is time-barred. No penalties will be imposed, but the chance of a refund is lost.
Tip: Set a reminder for the tax return deadline in good time and make sure that all required documents are submitted on time. If you know in advance that you will not be able to meet the deadline, you should apply for an extension.
