Employer's liability for payroll tax

Questioner

after calling the tax authorities, they told me that I have to pay 300 euros because my old boss, for whom I had not even worked for a month, did not fill in the payroll tax correctly! so because of him I now have to pay an extra 300 ... I have not seen anything of it. so because a boss does not fill in his forms correctly I am now the sucker can and should that just happen?

Lawyer

The employer is responsible for a timely and correct declaration. You can hold her liable for this or offset the assessment with other cost items of yours.

Questioner

yes but my question now is how? because I have contacted the tax authorities and they indicate that even though it is the employer's fault I still have to pay it... and it is said that the employer does not benefit from it, but yes, there are disadvantages that can now be noticed.

Lawyer

You may be able to object to the payment with the tax authorities or you may pay but hold your employer liable in writing. This must be assessed on the basis of any documents. You can email me any documents you have in your possession directly, without obligation and free of charge, so that I can advise you more specifically.
