Please no fundamental rumours about tax in Germany. There is a "Double tax agreement" in force. It does NOT always mean you pay NO tax!
There are quite a lot of variables and different, individual cases.
True is, the official "double tax agreement" means considerable tax reduction!
But, there is always the possible application of "Progressionsvorbehalt" (for german readers)
On the other hand, there are other problems to cover: NIS, Health insurance, state pension!
