  • RE: Filling out the DT-Individual form - need some help

    I'd like guidence on answering 2 questions in the Double Taxation Individual German form. I have a UK pension and live in Germany. As a German resident I am subject to pay German income tax on all my income regardless of source. So, this includes my UK pension. To avoid double taxation I am trying to fill out the above mentioned form, but I'm stuck on section B1. Question 7: Do the tax authorities in your country of residence tax you only on the amount you remit to or receive there? Yes or no? What does remit mean? Declare? I am required by German law to pay German income tax on all my income, so I guess "no" is the correct answer? Question 8: Do you remit to your country of residence all of the income from the sources that you show in this form? Yes or no? If no, how much of the income, if any, do you remit? This time I guess "yes" is the correct answer as I declare all my UK pension to the German tax authorities? I look forward to any helpful answers.
