Many of those affected are currently fighting against the new property tax, but the courts are not making it easy for them. A frequent case that is currently before the Saxon Tax Court: The court wants to reject the application for suspension because no objection has allegedly been lodged with the tax office. But that doesn’t mean you’ve lost your right! You can make up the objection – and we’ll show you how.


Why does the court want to reject your application?

More and more people are using the sample objection to the property tax and at the same time apply for suspension of enforcement at the tax court. In this way, they want to prevent having to pay property tax before the Federal Constitutional Court rules on its constitutionality. However, some tax courts, such as the Saxon tax court recently reported, reject these applications on these grounds:

“Your application is inadmissible because you have not lodged an objection with the tax office.”

That sounds like a dead end at first – but it’s not! Because you can make up the objection and inform the court.


How to make up for your objection and continue your proceedings

Important to know: The rejection of your application for a stay does not mean that you have no further options. With our legal document Send documents to court, you can submit your objection later and ensure that your case remains open!

Why is this so important?

  • Without an appeal to the tax office, the court may reject your application as “inadmissible”.
  • If you submit the objection later, your case remains active – you do not lose any rights!
  • You can continue to defend yourself against the property tax until a decision is made in the highest instance.

Therefore, our insider tip: If the court wants to reject your application due to a missing objection, act immediately and use our legal document to make up the objection and send it to the court.
