Can you get back taxes or pension contributions when you leave Germany?
Generally, you cannot get back income taxes you paid when you leave Germany. However, if you are a non-EU citizen and have worked in Germany for less than five years, you might be able to reclaim your pension contributions under specific conditions. For all the details and current requirements of this process, you should contact the relevant official institutions directly.
