From July 1st, homeowners will have to provide information for the new property tax. The costs change. Which factors determine who will have to pay how much in the future?
Dhe clock is ticking for the new property tax. From July 1st, owners must provide the required data. In many cases, the tax authorities point out that they have until the end of October to do this. For example, the Nürtingen tax office reminded of this obligation in a letter at the beginning of June, naming the parcels, the file number and asking that the declaration be submitted electronically. Such a personal approach does not have to exist.
At the end of March, the federal government publicly announced that this obligation exists in eleven federal states. Not all of them are because Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hamburg, Hesse and Lower Saxony have used the new opportunity to pass their own property tax laws. In Saarland and Saxony, only a slight modification of the federal model was decided upon. It’s the same everywhere: The basis is the ownership structure as of January 1, 2022. And off we go with the new taxation in 2025.
