On April 1, not only will the minimum wage for temporary workers rise - there are also innovations in the areas of pensions, taxes and real estate loans.

Berlin – In April, the Germans not only have to adapt to changes in the corona measures.

There are a few other changes to come as well - although this tends to be good news for most of those affected.

That changes in April: the minimum wage increases in individual sectors

The minimum wage for temporary workers will increase on April 1 from 10.45 euros to 10.88 euros per hour.

It is therefore above the generally applicable minimum wage in Germany and is likely to be raised again this year: to the minimum wage of 12 euros decided by the government.

There is also a wage increase of around 1.8 percent for civil servants.

The minimum wage is also increasing for nursing staff: from 12 euros to 12.55 euros for nursing assistants, from 12.50 euros to 13.20 euros for qualified nursing assistants and from 15 euros to 15.40 euros for nursing staff.

However, this only applies to nursing staff employed in companies.

Changes in April also in pension insurance for the self-employed

In some professions, it is not immediately apparent whether someone is self-employed or not.

These include craftsmen, doctors or consultants.

To ensure that there are no misunderstandings when it comes to incoming, outgoing and additional payments for the pension*, the German Pension Insurance (DRV) carries out a status determination procedure and clarifies whether someone is subject to social security contributions.

This procedure will change on April 1st - in order to achieve more legal certainty for everyone involved: Now the DRV is only concerned with whether someone is considered self-employed.

On the other hand, the health insurance companies will decide on the individual's obligation to be insured in the various social insurance schemes from April.

In addition, there should be the opportunity for those affected to get a prognosis and to request an oral hearing if anything is unclear.

That changes in April with the tax return: the flat-rate relocation fee increases

If you move for professional reasons, a higher flat rate for moving costs can be included in your tax return from April 1st.

It increases from 870 euros to 886 euros.

For every other person affected, such as partners or children, an additional 590 euros is added;

before it was 580 euros.

It is also possible to deduct rent that has been paid twice.

Capital buffer for real estate loans

An additional capital buffer will apply to banks from April 1st, with which residential real estate loans must be secured.

This means that loans for consumers tend to become more expensive in addition to the interest rates that have already risen.
