Deadline for property tax expires

Berlin Shortly before the end of the filing deadline, more than two-thirds of property owners have submitted their property tax returns. A spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Finance said on Monday. The deadline ends on Tuesday.

By Sunday, about 59.77 percent of the total expected statements had been sent electronically nationwide, the ministry spokesman said. In addition, an estimated 9.09 percent of the declarations were received on a paper form nationwide. The total rate of declarations received was therefore around 68.86 percent.

In mid-October, the federal states had extended the submission deadline from the end of October to the end of January 2023 due to the slow receipt of the new property tax returns from the tax authorities. There is no further extension of the deadline, as several country representatives had made clear. A spokeswoman for the Federal Ministry of Finance referred to the responsibility of the federal states on Monday.
