Have a tax assessment translated into German
A certified translation of your tax assessment for foreign tax offices, banks and authorities – with an exact rendering of the tax base, taxable income and assessed tax, and an unambiguously named tax office. Prepared by sworn translators where a formal proof is required, at a binding fixed price.
When translating a tax assessment, a single figure often decides – and it must be right to the cent
A tax assessment is read abroad to establish exactly two things: which income underlies it and which tax was actually assessed. If the assessed tax is confused with the advance payment or the tax office is named imprecisely, the proof is worthless. We render the load-bearing figures – tax base, taxable income, assessed tax – faithfully and keep the rest of the assessment traceable, without "translating" authority names that must remain unambiguous.
For crediting abroad: the tax assessment as proof under a double taxation treaty
Anyone who wants German tax credited abroad needs an assessment whose figures the foreign authority can assign unambiguously.
Which entries are decisive for crediting under a double taxation treaty?
Above all the tax actually assessed and the tax base – the credit method requires the foreign authority to be able to trace the amount of tax paid in Germany (mirrored in Germany in section 34c EStG).
Do you also translate the appeals instruction and explanatory notes?
Yes, the assessment is translated in full; the load-bearing amounts are rendered exactly, and explanatory parts completely and faithfully.
Is the assessed tax distinguished from advance payments?
Absolutely – “assessed tax”, “advance payments already made” and “remaining amount” are separate items and are never merged.
For banks and authorities: which entries must be available in certified translation
When must the translated tax assessment be certified?
Whenever a bank, a foreign tax office or an authority requires a formal proof – then sworn translators produce a certified translation, colloquially a “beglaubigte Übersetzung”.
Is the latest annual assessment enough, or are several years needed?
The requesting body sets this; for income proof, the last two to three assessment periods are often required, which we bundle at a fixed price.
Are the tax number and identification number carried over?
Yes, they are rendered faithfully, because they assign the assessment unambiguously to a person and a tax office.

Translating a tax assessment notice – frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

Is the tax assessment notice sufficient as proof of income for a bank or landlord?
For the self-employed and entrepreneurs it is the usual proof, as there is no payslip. We translate the tax base and assessed tax in certified form, so that a bank or landlord abroad recognises the income.
Which details are decisive for crediting abroad?
Tax number, assessment period, tax base and assessed tax. On this basis the competent foreign tax authority credits the tax paid in Germany under the relevant double taxation agreement.
Translating a tax assessment – and the proofs that often come with it
For proof of income or tax abroad, bodies often require, alongside the tax assessment notice, further documents: current Payslips as current proof of income, and for the self-employed additionally the Balance sheet. If you regularly have tax documents translated for use abroad, we bundle this through our Financial translation – with consistent terminology across all documents.
