Are you wondering whether your tax debt has expired?

Questioner

Good morning, In a bad past I was a decoy. In 2010, after I had removed all cars from my name and paid the fines, I received an overview of overdue road tax of around 15,000 euros! This was 8 years ago and I have never heard anything about it again. I have also tried to find out whether I have been reported to the KMar, unfortunately without result. My question is whether this has expired and if so, can I travel to non-Shengen countries without any problems due to family overseas. PS I have only received an overview of the debts, never a writ of execution. Kind regards, D.

The debt is time-barred based on your explanation, provided it is stopped in time, because then the debt will remain open for another 5 years. In principle, you can travel freely. If you are arrested anyway, I advise you to provide evidence and file an objection. For more information or assistance, please feel free to contact me directly and without obligation.

This has been weighing heavily on me for years, I don't even dare to be cautiously positive anymore... I have never heard anything more about this and therefore have no further proof... I have also kept a close eye on the mail all these years... Maybe in a year or two I will file a tax return again because I haven't done that since 2010 either. Not that it matters much since I am on welfare. Grt.D.
