Electronic wage tax deduction characteristics Change for further employment relationships at the same time with several employers

If you are employed by several employers at the same time, you can determine yourself which employer is to retrieve the family-friendly electronic wage tax deduction features.

If you start another employment relationship in addition to an existing one, you must decide which of these will be your first employment relationship in future.

The wages from the first employment relationship are taxed according to the family tax class (tax class I to V, if applicable child allowances), all wages from further employment relationships according to tax class VI (here the wage tax deduction is higher).
