How can you live in Germany without registering an address? Were you just visiting?
Registering the address will get you the tax number, which is necessary to be paid.
The health insurance (also mandatory when working) would need a registered address.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoI was there for over a year. I did have a tax number, since I got paid and presumably paid taxes. I never went anywhere just to register my address though. That sounds so insane to me.
- someplaceguy 3y agoMan, I wish I could "presumably" pay taxes like you... :)
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoI mean they were definitely paid. I never bothered filing a return or anything though, so I just never got any kind of refund assuming I would have.
- pallas_athena 3y agoMy point being that you get a tax number after your first address registration ("Anmeldung einer Wohnung")
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoI don't think I had my apartment yet when I got my tax number, but OK. Still a crappy system.
