Taxing foreign income in Germany?
Hello,
I live in Germany and will start working for a company in Cyprus (Northern Cyprus) from 01.02.2013. I will mainly manage this work from Germany, as my income will be transferred to my German account.
My question is: How do I tax these foreign earnings in Germany? Until recently, I was unemployed and before that, I was on maternity leave. Before this time, I only needed to get a tax card and give it to my employer. But since 2011, this has changed.
My employer is based in Cyprus. Therefore, I have to tax my income myself, as well as apply for health insurance and pension insurance myself.
What are the steps for this? I am worried about forgetting something or starting it wrong.
Thank you very much!
