Income tax
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIncome tax is a tax levied on the income of natural persons. The basis of assessment is the taxable income. Income tax is one of the state's most important sources of revenue. The legal basis is the Income Tax Act.
The income tax payable is calculated by applying the tax rate to the taxable income. Numerous regulations (e.g. allowances, exemption limits, lump sums, special expenses, extraordinary expenses, variable tax rate) take into account your personal capacity as a taxpayer. Expenses for living expenses (regularly e.g. expenses for food, clothing, housing) may not be deducted as business expenses or income-related expenses.
