The tax return for 2020 will probably not have to be with the tax office until three months later this year.
However, the Federal Council still has to agree to this.
The current information.
Those who
have not yet completed
the
tax return for 2020
could possibly gain a little time - but it has not yet been decided: As far as the
tax return 2020
is concerned, the Bundestag has already decided - as a result of the corona crisis * - that the
submission deadline is three months should be extended
, i.e. until October
31, 2021
.
Those who seek tax advice should then even have until May 31, 2022.
However, the Federal Council still has to agree to this.
The approval of the Federal Council can be expected, says Erich Nöll, managing director of the Federal Association of Wage Tax Aid Associations (BVL) in Berlin on request.
The deadline for filing the tax return 2020 is expected to be extended
Currently applies to
taxpayers who prepare their tax return even
for those
tax returns in 2020
nor the
31 July
as a
deadline
, as the Lohnsteuerhilfeverein United Lohnsteuerhilfe e.
V. (VLH) communicated on request;
but as soon as the Federal Council agrees, taxpayers will have until October 31, 2021.

Tax return 2020: What costs you shouldn't forget now
Note the deadline for submitting your tax return - there is a risk of a late payment surcharge
But watch out: If you don't keep the applicable deadlines when filing your tax return, you will have to
expect
a
late payment
.
And that's basically
0.25 percent of the tax still to be paid for each month of delay
, as the German Press Agency describes.
But there is a
minimum amount of 25 euros per month, provided that there is still a tax payment to the tax office.
Example: If the back tax payment is 1,000 euros, for example, and the tax return is submitted ten months too late, a late fee of 250 euros is due.
