Pay from another employment relationship taxed with tax class VI

    If you have other employment relationships in addition to your main employment relationship, the wages from these employment relationships are taxed according to tax class VI.

    Description

    If you have other employment relationships in addition to your main employment relationship, you will need different tax classes. In the case of employment with the higher salary, your tax class depends on your marital status. All other employment is taxed in tax class VI.

    You must inform your employer of your other employment relationships, in writing if necessary.

    If you receive wages from a second or further employment relationship that is taxed according to tax class VI, you must submit an income tax return to your local tax office.
