City of Chemnitz continues to allow deferral of trade tax

The City of Chemnitz would like to point out that companies have the opportunity to apply for deferral of trade tax in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Companies that are demonstrably directly and not insignificantly affected by the coronavirus can apply for an interest-free deferral of receivables due by 30 June 2021 for a maximum of three months.

An application for a reduction in advance payments can also be submitted to the relevant tax office. In this way, the City of Chemnitz wants to do everything in its power to relieve the burden on entrepreneurs.


The following measures are necessary for this:

  • Check that the fixed advance payments for trade tax for 2021 are up to date
  • If necessary, apply to the relevant tax office for an adjustment of the current advance payments
  • Send an informative copy of the application to the City of Chemnitz Tax and Revenue Office by email to a21(at)stadt-chemnitz.de, by fax to 0371 488 2299 or by post to Bahnhofstraße 53, 09111 Chemnitz
  • Tax claims that are due can be deferred; to do this, you must contact the responsible trade tax officer immediately:
    • Trade tax office (A, C, F, H, L, numbers), telephone: 0371 488 2212
    • Trade tax office (B, D, E, I, J, M), telephone: 0371 488 2216
    • Trade tax office (G, K, N, O, P, R), telephone: 0371 488 2214
    • Trade tax office (Q, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z), telephone: 0371 488 2218
