it can change as a result of a change of employer, changed life situations or a change of residence
is required for the tax return at the tax office
can be found on your pay slip and your income tax statement
Characteristics of the tax identification number (also "tax ID")
it always remains the same, despite a change of employer, changed life situations or a change of residence
it is an 11-digit, individual and unique number assigned to you
you keep the tax ID assigned to you for the rest of your life
