Procedure details
Description
Wage tax is a so-called direct tax. The tax debtor is the employee. However, the employer must calculate and withhold wage tax from the gross wage with every payroll.
The wage tax withheld by the employer, in addition to the church tax and the solidarity surcharge, must be reported and paid by the employer to the company tax office by the tenth day after the end of the registration period at the latest. The wage tax registration must be submitted to the tax offices electronically (ELSTER) in accordance with the officially prescribed data set.
The employer is liable for the correct withholding and payment of wage tax.
