The amount of foreign income is determined by German tax law. Any deductions for income-related expenses are therefore handled according to the Income Tax Act. Foreign income includes:

  • Wages from employment abroad.
  • Income from savings and deposits with foreign financial institutions.
  • Dividends from shares in foreign companies.
  • Distributions or income from foreign investment funds or bonds.
  • Income from self-employment if the work is carried out abroad.
  • Income from agriculture and forestry if the land is located abroad.
