Erstattung

An Erstattung is a refund of money you overpaid, for example too much income tax withheld from your salary. The tax assessment (Steuerbescheid) states the refund amount and it is transferred to your bank account automatically. Make sure the office has your correct IBAN and check the calculated amount against your own figures.

In plain German

Sie bekommen Geld zurück, das Sie zu viel bezahlt haben.
