Steuern und Abgaben
Procedure
You must apply for tax relief in writing as part of the monthly tax declaration:
- Go to the Customs website and complete the following forms.
- Form 2780 "Monthly tax declaration/relief declaration for alcopops"
- Form 2781 "Attachment to the monthly tax declaration/relief declaration for alcopops"
- If you are also applying for tax relief for the alcohol contained in the alcopops, you will also need the following forms:
- Form 1272 "Monthly tax return/relief declaration for alcohol products"
- Form 1278 "Attachment to the monthly tax return/relief declaration for alcohol products"
- If you include goods in your tax warehouse that were taxed by someone else, you can apply for a refund using the "Taxation confirmation" form.
- Complete the relevant form and, if necessary, the attachments in full and send them by post to your main customs office.
- The main customs office will check the refund.
- You will receive a notification with the result of your application.
Please note that if you are transporting goods to other member states for tax relief, you need the approval of the responsible main customs office. This will be issued to you on application in the form of a so-called "Zusageschein".
The main customs office from whose district you operate your company is responsible or, if you do not operate a company, in whose district you have your place of residence. If your company is operated from a location outside Germany or if you do not have a place of residence in Germany, the main customs office in whose district you first appear for tax purposes is responsible.
