Since 2026 there have been some changes in regulation regarding jobbing, taxes and more that also apply to students! Read more about it and find links, and the people who can help you at AStA!<\/p>\n
The mini-job limit has been raised from \u20ac556 to \u20ac603.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BAf\u00f6G recipients are also allowed to earn the higher amount without their payments being reduced.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, if you earn more than this, you are in the \u2018\u00dcbergangsbereich\u2019, in which you are allowed to earn between \u20ac603,01 and \u20ac2,000. In this case, you would be subject to social security contributions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you have any further questions, please send an email to: jobben@asta.rwth-aachen.de<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The annual tax allowance has been increased by \u20ac252 and amounts to \u20ac12,348 for a single person this year.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are also additional allowances for spouses and children. You can read more about this at the following link: https:\/\/www.bundesfinanzministerium.de\/Content\/DE\/Standardartikel\/Themen\/Steuern\/das-aendert-sich-2026.html<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us by email: studienfinanzierung@asta.rwth-aachen.de<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Depending on the provider, the contribution for student health insurance now ranges from approximately \u20ac125 to \u20ac150, including \u2018Pflegeversicherung\u2019. After the age of 30, you will no longer be eligible for student health insurance and will have to take out voluntary health insurance. If you have any questions or would like further advice, please feel free to send an email to: jobben@asta.rwth-aachen.de<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It can also be worthwhile for students to file a tax return. Students can deduct their semester fees, work materials (laptop, books, other materials, etc.), travel expenses and claim back the income tax they have paid. To do this, a tax return can be submitted digitally via \u2018Elster\u2019. If you still need help and have questions, you are welcome to contact the tax office during office hours for advice. Here is the link for the local tax office: https:\/\/www.finanzamt.nrw.de\/mein-finanzamt\/finanzamt-aachen-stadt<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you have any further questions, please send an email to: Studienfinanzierung@asta.rwth-aachen.de<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you cannot find the information you need for your case and require a quote, please contact us at soziales@asta.rwth-aachen.de and we will be happy to help!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since 2026 there have been some changes in regulation regarding jobbing, taxes and more that also apply to students!
