Marriage leads to a change in tax class

What deadlines must be paid attention to?

The tax class change upon application can only be made with effect from the beginning of the month following the application.

However, it is possible to change the automatically created tax class IV on marriage from the first day of the month of the marriage.

If you want your application for a change of tax class or application of the factor method for tax class IV to take effect in the current calendar year, you must submit it by 30.11. of the current year.

How long does it take to process

The automatic change to tax class IV for both spouses takes effect from the day of the marriage.
However, this does not apply if the marriage took place abroad.

What are the costs?

There are no costs for you.
