Tax frustration often comes with love sorrows.

Separation affects couples not only emotionally but also financially. Unlucky people pay high taxes. But that can be avoided.
GExactly 14 years and a few months – then it’s over. The average married couple who gets divorced doesn’t last that long together. After all, that’s two years more than 25 years ago. And after all, the number of divorces has been declining for 20 years.
However, there are still around 140,000 a year. Every single one of them destroys a lifelong dream, plunges into a deep emotional crisis and usually also tears big financial holes. And if you’re not careful, you’ll end up paying more taxes than you have to. That happens very quickly, because in this tense situation, very few people think about the tax office. Anyone who manages not to lose sight of the tax authorities and their claims in such a situation is doing themselves a great favour. In the best-case scenario, he saves many tens of thousands of euros in taxes. Ex-spouses have more options than unmarried couples who are separating, but the latter should also be careful, especially if they own a property together.
