   In a recent judgment the Supreme Tax Court decided that - according to Article 13 paragraph 1 of the double tax agreement (DTT) with France - Germany has the right to tax the severance pay as a result of the termination of an employment relationship insofar as the compensation relates to the period during which the employee (who was subject to unlimited tax liability at the time) lived and worked in Germany. The taxable amount must be calculated by considering the duration of the domestic residence compared to the term of the employment. The so-called cross-border commuter rule in Article 13 para. 5 of the DTT does not preclude Germany’s right of taxation.
