Bescheinigung in Steuersachen

Your tax submission and payment behavior will be attested to you on the basis of the certificate in tax matters.

The "certificate in tax matters" (formerly: "certificate of no objection") about your tax reliability serves other authorities in approval procedures or public procurement or private clients as a decision-making aid. The content of the certificate is limited to the non-evaluative statement of tax facts, such as existing tax arrears or your payment and delivery behavior at the time of issuance. The VAT-law entrepreneurial status is not certified with the certificate. The assessment of the certified tax behavior is left to the person who is to take the measure you desire (e.g. issuance a business license, a road haulage concession or an order).
The application must be submitted to the tax office responsible for you.

None, but the full first and last name / company name, address and tax number / identification number is required.

After an informal application (in writing, in person or by telephone), you (if necessary your authorized representative) or, in the case of a company, the legal or contractually designated representative (e.g. managing director, board of directors) will be sent or given a corresponding certificate by the responsible tax office. If the certificate is obtained by the district office, it is sent directly to the district office for the local procedure for issuing a business license.

The processing takes place promptly

No

Since the "certificate in tax matters" is not an administrative act, but merely an expression of knowledge, there is no possibility of objection, ie there is no period for appeal.
