Dog tax: Deregistering a dog

The tax liability ends at the end of the calendar month in which the dog ownership ends. The Bremen tax office must be notified of this within 14 days.

What documents do I need?

  1. If the dog has been sold or given away, the name and address of the new dog owner must be given.
  2. If the dog has died, a certificate from the veterinarian or the rendering plant must be enclosed as proof.
  3. If this has been given to the animal shelter, a copy of the admission contract must be enclosed.
