Overview
- The Berlin public prosecutor’s office has registered a case on the suspicion of tax evasion linked to missing details for an MP’s Berlin second home.
- Tim Klüssendorf did not provide required information on the apartment’s size and rent, so the tax office issued a estimated second‑home tax assessment that he later paid.
- After receiving official notice, Klüssendorf publicly called the omission his fault and says he immediately handed the missing documents to the tax office.
- Klüssendorf’s tax adviser says the newly submitted paperwork could show he overpaid and that a refund may be due; authorities are now examining the filings.
- German rules allow the tax office to estimate a bill when key data are absent and a registration in the prosecutor’s general register signals a formal review rather than a charge.
