What is a Lohn­steu­er­be­schei­ni­gung? What does it look like?

A salary tax statement (Lohnsteuerbescheinigung) shows how much you earned, and how much salary tax you paid. You get this document from your employer every year between January and March.

You can use this document to find your tax ID and your social insurance number.
