Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) – In contrast to Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia is not extending the deadline for the property tax return. “We don’t,” said a spokesman for the finance minister of North Rhine-Westphalia on Tuesday in Düsseldorf to the German Press Agency when asked whether the most populous federal state would also extend the deadline, following the example of Bavaria.
Shortly before, it had become known in Munich that the Free State was going it alone to extend the deadline for submitting property tax returns. Property owners should have three months more time, i.e. until the end of April, as Bavaria’s Finance Minister Albert Füracker (CSU) said after a cabinet meeting.
The deadline for submitting property tax returns in North Rhine-Westphalia is this Tuesday at midnight. It had already been extended by the federal states from the end of October 2022 to the end of January 2023 because of the slow arrival. According to data from the regional finance department, around 6.7 million plots of land and farms and forestry businesses in North Rhine-Westphalia have to be revalued as a result of the property tax reform.
