Procedure
To submit the tax return, you must use the officially prescribed form:
- Go to the German customs website and call up the form "Stromsteueranmeldung und/oder Anmeldung der steuerfreien Strommengen" (Form 1400) from there. You can complete the form directly on your computer.
- Print out the completed form and attach any necessary documents.
- Sign the completed form and submit it to your local main customs office. The main customs office will check your tax declaration and send you a notification if your calculations were incorrect or something is unclear. If your calculations are correct, you will not normally be sent a notice.
- Pay the amount you calculated yourself or the amount stated in the tax assessment notice from the main customs office on time.
The main customs office in whose district you operate your business or, if you do not operate a business, in whose district you are resident, is responsible. 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.
