Vorauszahlung

Vorauszahlungen are quarterly advance payments on your expected tax, common for self-employed people — due 10 March, 10 June, 10 September, and 10 December. They are set based on your last assessment and credited against the final tax. If your income drops, apply to the Finanzamt to reduce them instead of paying too much all year.

In plain German

Sie zahlen Ihre Steuer schon im Voraus in vier Teilen pro Jahr.

الدفعات المقدمة (Vorauszahlungen) هي دفعات ربع سنوية مسبقة من ضريبتك المتوقعة، وهي شائعة لأصحاب العمل الحر — تُستحق في 10 مارس و10 يونيو و10 سبتمبر و10 ديسمبر. تُحدد بناءً على آخر قرار ضريبي وتُخصم من الضريبة النهائية. إذا انخفض دخلك، قدّم طلباً لمكتب الضرائب لتخفيضها بدلاً من الدفع الزائد طوال السنة.

As it appears in letters

Die vierteljährlichen Vorauszahlungen zur Einkommensteuer werden ab dem 10.09.2026 auf 380,00 EUR festgesetzt.
