Taxes and Legal Advice
A couple of good links that might help with your German tax return: especially useful if you’re fairly new here and/or if your German is not quite up to deciphering the paperwork: http://www.germantaxes.info – for lots of information and downloads in English from the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern, and http://www.expattax.de – for an English-speaking tax advisor, based in Munich.
