Hello,
I have recently moved to Germany and got a new job (permanent contract) in Germany. I am now asked by my employer to submit below details:
a) Pensions insurance number
b) Health insurance
c) Long term insurance contribution
d) Income tax bracket
e) Tax ID no.
f) Monthly tax allowance
g) Annual tax allowance
h) Confession
As mentioned above, i have recently moved to Germany and since, this will be my first job in germany, I was never involved in paying any amount for health and pension insurance before.
My questions:
1) For income tax bracket, i am married, where i will be working for a german firm and my spouse is on payroll of indian company and is getting per diem allowance monthly in germany. which tax bracket will be applicable for me - tax bracket 3 / 4?
2) How to calculate monthly and annual tax allowance?
3) i have done some research before posting here and i found that any employee, if he is paying taxes, will automatically be eligible and will get social security number, pension and health. Is this true?
4) Which pension scheme would you recommend (this is related to pensions insurance number)
5) How to get TAX ID no? I have not paid any taxes before in germany.
Not sure, why some of the above details were asked by my employer, but since i have to submit these details, hence posting such questions here. You can also recommend any good tax consultant (not expensive) if you know any
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Kind regards
