• Application for a permit to work as a tax officer of air carriers (Form 1162) of the Federal Finance Administration

You may act as a tax officer for several air carriers. In order to secure the tax revenue, you must immediately notify the Main Customs Office in writing of changes in your circumstances as well as over-indebtedness, imminent or occurring insolvency, cessation of payments and submission of the application for the opening of insolvency proceedings.

• You have your place of business in Germany in accordance with § 11 of the Tax Code
