Legal bases
More information
If the conditions for tax exemption no longer apply, you are obliged to inform the Bremen tax office within 2 weeks of the conditions ceasing to apply.
Exemption is not possible because you do not have the necessary financial means to keep the dog.
However, you can apply for a deferral (payment in installments) if there is considerable hardship, for example in the case of a temporary financial emergency that you did not cause yourself. A deferral is only granted on application. The application must be justified. The current financial circumstances must be disclosed in the application.
You can also apply for a waiver of the dog tax, for example because you have a low income. In this case, you must submit proof of income and state the monthly funds available for living expenses.
A remission granted once and a deferral granted once are only valid for the year in question.
