Dog tax exemption
Service description
If you are dependent on a dog because of your disability, you are generally exempt from dog tax. However, the conditions vary from municipality to municipality. Exemption often depends on whether the disabled person is dependent on the assistance of a dog. The tax exemption applies to dogs that are indispensable for the protection and assistance of blind, deaf or otherwise completely helpless people. In addition, rescue dogs that have undergone appropriate training and testing are generally also exempt from dog tax
In most Rhineland-Palatinate municipalities, tax exemption is currently granted in accordance with the model statutes of the Rhineland-Palatinate Association of Municipalities and Towns.
