Berlin (ots)
In 2022, Bremen had by far the slowest tax offices in Germany. This is the result of data collection by the leading online tax return system, Lohnsteuer-kompakt.de. For the second time in a row, Berlin came first with the fastest tax offices in Germany.
On average, taxpayers in Berlin had to wait 45.8 days for their tax refund, in Hamburg the waiting time was around one day longer at 46.7 days. North Rhine-Westphalia comes third with a waiting time of 47.5 days, up two places from last year when the state was fifth.
While residents of the federal capital Berlin get their tax assessments particularly quickly, taxpayers in neighboring Brandenburg have to wait an additional 27 days for their tax refunds, which is almost a whole month longer.
“It is striking that, like last year, two city-states occupy the first two places,” says Felix Bodeewes, Managing Director of Lohnsteuer-kompakt.de. “But North Rhine-Westphalia has caught up well, while Saarland has fallen from third place last year to tenth place,” said Bodeewes. “After all, six of the ten fastest tax offices in Germany are in North Rhine-Westphalia.”
The fastest tax office in Germany is the Olpe tax office with an average processing time of just 23.6 days. Last year’s winner, Warburg, only managed 89th place this year with 43.3 days.

Taxpayers in Bremen (82.1 days), Brandenburg (72.8 days) and Baden-Württemberg (60.5 days) have to wait the longest for a possible tax refund. This means that taxpayers in these three federal states have to be patient for at least 15 days longer than in Berlin.
“Overall, the processing time of the individual tax offices has become slower,” says Felix Bodeewes. “In the previous year, Bremen already had the longest processing times at 56.3 days, almost 26 days less than in 2022.” The nationwide average is 53.6 days and is therefore 4.6 days higher than in the previous year.
The processing times of the tax offices were anonymously recorded on the basis of around 400,000 tax returns prepared via Lohnsteuer-kompakt.de in 2022. A total of 479 tax offices were taken into account, with at least 50 tax returns submitted per tax office.
