WORKING ABROAD
Use your legal rights!
Every year, millions of people work abroad and pay wage or income tax there every month. However, few people realise that it is possible to obtain a full or partial refund of this tax from the foreign tax authorities at the end of the year. For example, according to Stiftung Warentest, taxpayers in Germany who do not submit a tax return lose an average refund of EUR 900.00 per year.
The same applies to child benefit: If you work in another EU country, you are guaranteed the same rate of child benefit as if you were living in that particular country. And depending on the EU country, you may still be entitled to child benefit even if your employment in another EU country has long since ended – in some cases even retroactively for up to five years.
