Einspruch

An Einspruch is the formal appeal against a tax assessment, and it must reach the Finanzamt within 1 month of receiving the Steuerbescheid. It is free and can be a simple letter or ELSTER message stating what you think is wrong. Note: an Einspruch does not delay payment — you must still pay on time unless you also request "Aussetzung der Vollziehung" (suspension).

In plain German

Sie sagen dem Finanzamt schriftlich, dass der Steuerbescheid falsch ist.

الاعتراض الضريبي (Einspruch) هو الطعن الرسمي على قرار الضريبة، ويجب أن يصل إلى مكتب الضرائب خلال شهر واحد من استلام القرار. وهو مجاني ويكفي فيه خطاب بسيط أو رسالة عبر ELSTER توضح ما تراه خاطئاً. انتبه: الاعتراض لا يؤجل الدفع — يجب الدفع في الموعد ما لم تطلب أيضاً "تعليق التنفيذ" (Aussetzung der Vollziehung).

As it appears in letters

Gegen diesen Bescheid ist der Einspruch gegeben; er ist innerhalb eines Monats nach Bekanntgabe beim Finanzamt einzulegen.
