# Tax Return

> Lead-generation site helping Romanian, Russian, and Ukrainian speakers who worked in Germany or Austria reclaim overpaid wage tax (Lohnsteuer), and claim child benefit (Kindergeld). Visitors estimate their refund with a calculator, then submit their details to start a claim handled by Tax Return's tax experts.

Tax Return (Tax Return SRL) has processed refund claims for former workers in Germany and Austria for over 12 years. The site is available in Romanian (default), Russian, and Ukrainian. Every page is prefixed with its locale (`/ro/`, `/ru/`, `/uk/`) and slugs are localized per language.

## Notes

- Refund estimates are produced by an interactive, multi-step calculator (country, tax year, income and months worked); figures shown are estimates, not final tax authority decisions.
- Kindergeld in Germany is 259 € per month per child, claimable up to 6 months retroactively; Familienkasse processing typically takes 4–8 weeks.
- Form submissions are handled by Tax Return staff, not an automated system.

## Optional

- [Blog](https://blog.returntax.de/): Articles on German and Austrian wage-tax refund topics (documents needed, eligibility, process details). Hosted separately from the main site.
