Lock or unlock wage tax deduction features for employees

You can block wage tax deduction features (tax class, child allowances) by notifying your tax office. Your employment company will then tax your wages according to tax class VI.
  •  

Detailed description

Only your current employer is entitled (and obliged) to call up the electronic wage tax deduction features. This entitlement ceases upon termination of employment.

If you block the retrieval, your employer is no longer authorized to retrieve your electronic wage tax deduction characteristics. This also applies if the employment relationship still exists.

You can contact your local tax office
  • Name your employer who may call up your electronic income tax deduction details (positive list),
  • name an employer who is not allowed to call up the electronic wage tax deduction features (negative list),
  • have the provision of electronic wage tax deduction features generally blocked (full block).
If your company or operation is not authorized to call up your electronic wage tax deduction characteristics due to the blocking, it is obliged to tax your wages according to tax class VI.

The blocking takes effect at the earliest from the date of entry by the clerk in the tax office; a retrospective blocking is not possible.

The blocking applies until you apply to the local tax office for the blocking to be lifted.
