Indian income in your German tax return

Interest, dividends, fund payouts or rent in India can matter in your German tax return. Answer five short questions to see which forms and sections each item generally belongs in, and the rules and sources behind it.

Your inputs are used only to calculate this result and are not stored. How we handle data

Preview: a Steuerberater hasn't confirmed these rules for 2026 yet, so the tool shows where each item generally belongs and why, without tax figures.

Tax year

German tax year 2026 (1 January to 31 December).

Did you live in Germany for the whole year?

Your German tax return

Filing
Have you already used your saver's allowance (Sparer-Pauschbetrag) at German banks with an exemption order (Freistellungsauftrag)?
Which Indian income did you have in 2026?

Tick every kind that applies. Approximate yearly amounts in rupees are enough.

Did you give your Indian bank a German tax residency certificate and Form 10F?

Get the full check when the rules are confirmed

We'll email you once a Steuerberater has reviewed the rules and the tool shows estimates, and occasionally about money across countries. Your answers are not sent with it.

How this works

The check runs on inWst's tax rules engine: each rule is stored as data with its source, the tax year and whether it has been verified. The result lists every rule it used with a link to its source.

While a rule is unverified, the tool shows which form and section an item generally belongs in and why, and no figure. Estimates appear only once a Steuerberater has reviewed the rules.

Your answers are sent once, to calculate this result. They are not stored and not logged.
