Can I pay taxes in Spain while working in Germany?

Personal Finance & Money Asked by euskadi on May 1, 2021

I’m actually working in Germany for just 2 months (July and August), and I would like to know if it is possible to pay the taxes in my country (Spain). The advantage of it is that in Spain the taxes are around 25% of the salary, while in Germany this value increases up to 35% more or less. If it is possible, how could I ask for the difference?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

One Answer

An annual salary lower than EUR 8,354 for singles or EUR 16,708 for a married couple will not be subject to PAYE taxes in Germany when talking about "income from employed work". Since you will only be working for two months, I am assuming you will not make more than EUR 4,177 per month, and in that case you do not need to pay tax.[1]

It is possible however that this money needs to be taxed in Spain after you return, this is something you should ask your local tax authorities.

If you are self-employed rather than employed by the company you will be working for, you should contact a tax advisor.
