Since I want to make money with Fortnite, I wanted to ask if I can register a tax code at the age of 17?
You have to have the tax ID number for a long time. If not, apply at the responsible tax office.
You can register as a minor with the consent of the parents and approval by the Family Court a trade, § 112 BGB.
Only after successful business registration you will get a tax number from the responsible tax office.
Does it cost me that?
Tax Offices are not responsible for issuing tax identification numbers, which falls within the remit of the Federal Central Tax Office.
But here was the tax number, and this is a kind of file number, under which one is led at the tax office.
Tax number and ID no. But are (still) two different things! You will only get a tax number if you "apply for it" accordingly. The id no. If you get automatically (since 2008) assigned by the Federal Central Tax Office, the tax number of the tax office. The tax number and not the ID number. Do you need the tax office for a trade!
A business registration costs money, 30 to 40 euro.
Right. The tax ID no. Should eventually replace the tax number, but probably not before the first landing on Mars.
