It’s about time: our local „Finanzamt“ which is the town’s legal entity to collect
your income taxes in Germany, in my case Hamburg-Hansa (which will hopefully not
change due to the move), has again reminded me that my income taxes were due in 
May and that I should consider handing them in till September, 14th, or else…. (
I love those „or else“ letters).

So, I’m at the moment preparing my income taxes which is a bit difficult due to „
Christian Louis Veranstaltungstechnik und Medienproduktion“, my own company that
I founded 11 years ago. I don’t do anything anymore that is considered to be even
partly self-employed, but since the legal entity still exists, it is part of my 
income taxes.

The problem is however that – also due to historic reasons – this company’s legal
address is still in Leverkusen, my birth town. I never bothered to change this, 
since – as already mentioned – I don’t actively do anything with it anyways.

So, instead of handing in all my paperwork at ONE tax office, I have to first of
all file my company’s taxes in Leverkusen (which is normally done quite quickly,
just write a bunch of zeroes in some forms) and after that I have to take the outcome(
0 EUR income out of my company) and file my personal income taxes in Hamburg.

Quick HowTo, so that I remember how to do this next year:

0. Hand in „Umsatzsteuererklärung“

1. Grab an „Anlage G“ to claim your company’s profit and hand it in together with
the so-called „Mantelbogen“: Erklärung zur gesonderten Feststellung von Grundlagen
für die Einkommensbesteuerung, Vordruck ESt 1 B

2. Send to Leverkusen tax office, wait for results

3. File Einkommensteuererklärung Vordruck Est 1 A + additional sheets like KAP with
the Hamburg tax office

Especially writing down the names hopefully helps me remembering all of this in 
2011. If you are curious how such a German tax form looks like, you’ll find plenty
of them here: [https://www.formulare-bfinv.de/ffw/content.do](https://www.formulare-bfinv.de/ffw/content.do)

For my other „normal“ income taxes, I use t@x 2010 by the way; unfortunately this
crazy „you own a company in a different town“ stuff can’t be managed with this properly.
