Taxation of the allowances
The withholding tax rate of a tax card issued for an employee is increased to at least 25% for earnings-related daily allowance, job alternation allowance and mobility allowance. If you want, you can request a revised tax card from the tax authorities for the allowance. In this case, the withholding tax rate for the earnings-related allowance is based on your tax card without an increase in the rate.
Earnings-related allowance, job alternation allowance and mobility allowance are considered income subject to withholding tax.
The unemployment fund normally receives your tax information directly from the tax authorities at the start of the year. New tax cards come into effect from the start of February. If the fund cannot receive your tax information electronically from the tax authorities, we will ask you to send us your tax card.
