Central Office for Information and the Submission of Tax Returns
At the Central Information and Submission Point, the tax offices offer the following services:
You can obtain forms and tax return templates from us. The most common forms are already available for self-service in the waiting area.
You can submit your tax returns or applications for income tax relief to us and have them checked. Where applicable, you can take your supporting documents away with you straight away.
We will advise you on which department is responsible, be happy to answer your general tax queries and refer you to the appropriate case officers. We will take note of your requests and endeavour to fulfil them as far as we are able.
However, your tax adviser remains responsible for providing specialist tax advice. The central information and reception desk of the Bremen tax authorities provides information and forwards your documents to the relevant tax offices.
