Money laundering - Report an anonymous tip if you suspect a Lohnsteuerhilfeverein (wage tax assistance association)

Lohnsteuerhilfevereine (wage tax assistance associations) or their advice centers are required to report facts indicating money laundering or terrorist financing. If you suspect that Lohnsteuerhilfevereine or their advice centers are violating their obligations under the Geldwäschegesetz (Money Laundering Act) or related provisions, you can report your suspicion to the responsible supervisory authority. A report may also be made anonymously. Supervisory authorities ensure compliance with the provisions of the Geldwäschegesetz as well as regulations and other provisions for preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. Corresponding violations are penalized by the supervisory authorities.
