There is an innovation for employers: As of this year, the tax ID of mini-jobbers must be reported, as reported by the mini-job center.
What that means in concrete terms.
Anyone who employs
mini-jobbers *
also has to pay taxes;
so that the helpers - for example in the household - are regularly employed, they must be registered with the mini-job center.
The German Press Agency (dpa) reported on this on the occasion of a blog post by the
mini-job headquarters
on October 15, which also stated: “The earnings from a mini-job are also taxable.
The employer can decide for himself whether the earnings should be taxed at a flat rate or according to the individual characteristics (wage tax bracket) of the mini jobber. "
From 2022: Tax ID of mini jobbers must be reported
According to the dpa report, there will also be an important change for
employers
from 2022 onwards: The tax ID will "also be reported in mini-jobs from 2022", according to the blog post from the mini-job headquarters.
Specifically, from January 2022, the
tax identification number of the mini-jobbers
must be transmitted to the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Knappschaft-Bahn-See in the electronic reporting process.

“The tax ID is only issued once in a lifetime and remains permanently valid,” explains the mini job center in general about the eleven-digit tax identification number.

tax ID
