Frequently asked Questions
-
How can I notify the responsible office in the tax office of my changed bank details?
Please provide bank details in writing (not verbally): Notification by fax is also possible. Via the Internet, transmission is only permitted via My ELSTER. Notification via a simple e-mail or telephone is not permitted.
-
Which financial authorities / office do I have to notify of my new bank details?
Please inform the responsible tax office of the new bank details. If you send your information to the Landeshauptkasse Bremen, it will be forwarded to the responsible tax office in Bremen or Bremerhaven. This delays the processing time. Therefore, please contact the responsible tax office in Bremen or Bremerhaven directly.

A few days ago, I received a tax notice that still showed the old bank account information.
If applicable, the refund has already left the area of the tax authority. Immediately contact the responsible tax office in Bremen (Landeshauptkasse Bremen) or Bremerhaven (Finanzamt Bremerhaven). This is indicated in the top right-hand corner of your tax assessment notice.
Notification of the change in bank details for refund purposes must be made in writing (with signature) or via My ELSTER to the relevant tax office in Bremen or Bremerhaven. Notification by simple e-mail or telephone is not permitted.
