Abstract

The German Annual Tax Acts are statutory instruments enacted annually to make changes and adjustments to the German tax law. The objective of the Annual Tax Acts is to update existing tax laws and adapt them to changing economic and political conditions. The German Annual Tax Act 2024 ruled that deferred taxation applies also to retirement benefits from foreign pension funds, for which a tax exemption or preferential treatment was granted. It governs that future payouts from U.S. 401(k) plans to taxable persons in Germany are fully taxed. The new law applies for the first time in the fiscal year 2025.

Keywords:Income taxation; U.S. 401(k) Plans; German Annual Tax Act 2024
