Exit taxation

The exit taxation is not a separate type of tax but refers to the point at which income tax plus the solidarity surcharge and possibly church tax become due when a taxpayer moves out of Germany. This tax is levied on the hidden reserves of shares in corporations held in private assets. The state treats the departure as if the shareholder had sold their shares, resulting in a fictional capital gain, even though no actual sale has taken place. However, there are also other cases in which exit taxation can be triggered, such as the transfer of shares to a person residing abroad through inheritance or gifting.
