Tax ID for mini-jobbers
December 13, 2021 | 50,00 EUR | answered by Steuerberater Knut Christiansen
Hello,
Starting in January 2022, I would have to provide my tax ID to my employer as a mini-jobber. Does this have any potential disadvantages for me as an employee? The additional income was not reported in my tax return. Furthermore, I am self-employed full-time with 20 hours per week. I am jointly taxed with my husband, who is in tax class III.
What checks does the tax office need the tax ID for?
Thank you very much for your response.
Kind regards,
S.H.
Good day and thank you for using ask-einen.com!
Regarding your question, I would like to provide you with the following information.
Employers will be required to report the tax ID number of the employee (Minijobber) as well as the type of taxation for commercial mini jobs starting in 2022. In terms of taxation, the employer has the option to make a lump sum taxation of the wages (which is usually the case) or to deduct and report the taxation according to the submitted income tax class or valid ELStAM data. If your employer deducts the lump sum tax (which is mostly done), everything remains the same for you: the salary does not need to be reported in the income tax return, as the lump sum tax has a final effect.
If the employer calculates according to an individual income tax class, then this salary would be reported as taxable to the tax office in the future. However, if this has not been the case so far, then your employer is unlikely to change that in 2022.
I hope this answers your question, if not, please feel free to ask additional questions.
I would like to point out that this forum cannot replace a detailed and personal tax consultation, but is primarily intended to provide an initial tax assessment. By adding or omitting relevant information, the legal assessment of your issue could be different.
