What they want from you
The Finanzamt has calculated your 2025 income tax and finds that you still owe 1,284.00 EUR. The amount is due on 12 October 2026. The letter also explains how to object (Einspruch) if you think the calculation is wrong.
Do this
- 1Compare the figures with your tax return and your Lohnsteuerbescheinigung.
- 2Pay 1,284.00 EUR by 12 October 2026 using the Steuernummer as reference, or request Aussetzung der Vollziehung if you object.
- 3File an Einspruch via ELSTER before the deadline shown above if anything looks wrong. A reason can follow later.
If you do nothing
If you do not pay by the due date, a late-payment surcharge of 1 % per month is added (§ 240 AO). If you do not object within the deadline shown above, the assessment becomes final and can only be changed in narrow cases.
Ce que coûte l'attente
Rien ne s'est encore ajouté. Voici ce que la loi ajoute pour chaque mois entamé après l'échéance.
- Late payment surcharge12,50 EUR
Par mois entamé12,50 EUR

Einspruch gegen den Bescheid vom 04.09.2026
Aktenzeichen: 143/212/40317
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

Eine Begründung reiche ich nach.
Ich bitte um eine Empfangsbestätigung.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
[Dein Name]Avant de l'envoyer
- Send it before the deadline shown in the app.
- Keep proof of posting: registered mail, ELSTER confirmation or a fax report.
- The reasons still need to be written by you or by an advisor.
Ce qui se passe après le dépôt
Le déroulement habituel de cette procédure. Les durées sont indicatives, pas des promesses.
You file the Einspruch
In writing or through ELSTER, before the deadline. Reasons can follow later.
The payment stays due
An Einspruch does not pause the payment. If you want it paused, you must ask for Aussetzung der Vollziehung separately.
The office confirms receipt
Usually a short letter. Keep it.
The case is reviewed
The whole assessment is looked at again, not only the point you raised. It can also change against you, and you would be told before that happens.
You get a decision
Either a corrected assessment, or a formal rejection (Einspruchsentscheidung).
If it is rejected
You can go to the Finanzgericht within one month. That step has court costs and usually needs professional help.

Plain reading of the whole letter
Page 1: This is the income tax assessment for the year 2025. The tax office lists your income from employment, deducts the standard allowances and calculates the tax due. Page 2: The amount already paid through your employer is set against the tax due. The difference of 1,284.00 EUR is to be paid by 12 October 2026 to the account stated. Page 3: Explanations of the calculation and the instruction on legal remedies: an objection can be filed within one month after notification.
German terms used
- Bekanntgabe
- Legal date on which the letter counts as delivered. Since 2025 this is the fourth day after posting, not the day you open it.
- Einspruch
- Formal objection to the tax office. Free of charge. Does not pause the payment.
- Aussetzung der Vollziehung
- Request to pause the payment while your objection is being reviewed.
- Fälligkeit
- Due date for the payment.
Common mistakes with this letter
- A 'vorläufig' (provisional) note under § 165 AO does not extend your objection deadline.
- ELSTER registration takes days; the activation code arrives by post.
- The payment due date (Fälligkeit) is separate from the objection deadline.
When you need a person
If the figures differ from your own records by more than a small amount, or if you have foreign income, a Lohnsteuerhilfeverein or a tax advisor should look at it before the objection deadline.
- Lohnsteuerhilfeverein (only for employees, pensioners)
- Steuerberater (tax advisor)
- Lawyer, first consultation capped at 190 EUR net (§ 34 RVG)
- Beratungshilfe (court-funded legal aid for low income)
