How to get a part-time jobs (Nebenjob)[edit | edit source]

  • Most employers would prefer if you can speak at least a little German.
  • It is important that you have a "Lohnsteuerkarte" (Income Tax Card). If you don't have one you can get from Finanzamt Magdeburg. You can ask them about which class you fall under. Their address is:
Finanzamt Magdeburg, Tessenowstr. 6, 39114 Magdeburg
  • The maximum number of days you can work is 120 full days, which is 960h. This does NOT include HiWi hours.
  • You can ask for tax returns once a year, the deadline is 31st May of the following year. You can either do it yourself on the ELSTER webpage using Toytown Germany's guide as reference or make use of an online service like SteuerGo which lets you file your tax return in English for a fee of 25€. You can also get a consultant (Steuerberater) to help you out but it will be significantly more expensive.
