Bundesfinanzdirektion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bundesfinanzdirektionen will replace the federal parts of the Oberfinanzdirektionen in Germany. This was decided by the Finance Ministry in its rough concept on the future of the federal financial administration on November 6, 2006. The Bundesfinanzdiretionen will be the future supreme authority for the main customs offices.

The future Bundesfinanzdirektionen will be located in:

Hamburg (North)

main customs offices: Hamburg-Hafen, Hamburg-Jonas, Hamburg-Stadt, Itzehoe, Kiel, Stralsund, Oldenburg and Bremen

Cologne (West)

main customs offices: Münster, Aachen, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Köln (Cologne), Krefeld, Frankfurt am Main Flughafen and Gießen

Neustadt an der Weinstraße (Southwest)

mcos: Koblenz, Heilbronn, Karlsruhe, Lörrach, Singen, Stuttgart, Ulm, Saarbrücken and Darmstadt

Nürnberg (Southeast)

mcos: Erfurt, Landshut, München, Nürnberg, Regensburg, Rosenheim, Schweinfurt and Augsburg

Potsdam (Center)

mcos:Berlin, Frankfurt an der Oder, Potsdam, Dresden, Hannover, Magdeburg, Braunschweig, Bielefeld and Osnabrück.

The customs and consumption tax directorates of the Oberfinanzidrektionen Chemnitz (located in Dresden), Karlsruhe (located in Freiburg im Breisgau), Koblenz (located in Neustadt an der Weinstraße), Cottbus (located in Potsdam), Hamburg, Köln and Nürnberg will be closed. The attached main customs offices will be spearated between the upcoming Bundesfinanzdirektionen and some main customs offices will be detached to other Bundesfinanzdirektionen to make the ditricts of the Bundesfinanzidirektionen more even. This oragnisational change in the federal financial administration has the goal to allocate the workload evenly between the Bundesfinanzdirektionen. This is why the economically weak east of germany has only one Bundesfinanzdirektion an the strong south and west have the Bundesfinanzdirektionen Köln, Nürnberg and Neustadt an der Weinstraße.
