Niedersachsen's Tax Offices to Close Temporarily for IT Upgrades

The closures on February 14 and 17 will affect public access and specific tax inquiries, while general services remain available.

Tax offices across Niedersachsen will be closed on Friday, February 14, and Monday, February 17, for scheduled IT system updates.
The closures will prevent in-person visits and the ability to handle specific tax-related inquiries during these days.
General tax advice can still be obtained via a dedicated hotline, though individual tax data will not be accessible.
Tax declarations and other documents can still be submitted through office drop boxes or the MeinELSTER online platform.
The IT updates involve migrating large amounts of data to new servers, a process requiring significant downtime.
