Finanzamt Mühlhausen
Finanzamt Mühlhausen is one of the 24 German tax offices (Finanzämter) that handle the VAT affairs of foreign companies. Under the German VAT jurisdiction regulation (UStZustV), it is the office for companies established in Lithuania. On this page: the verified address, the VAT payment bank details, and what to do with a letter from this office when you do not read German.
Which foreign companies file here.
Germany does not assign a foreign company to the tax office nearest its warehouse. The Umsatzsteuerzuständigkeitsverordnung (UStZustV), the federal VAT jurisdiction regulation, concentrates all foreign-company VAT files at 24 specialised offices, each responsible for a fixed set of countries. The assignment follows the country of your company's legal seat. Wherever in Germany you store goods or sell, if your company is seated in Lithuania, your German VAT file sits at Finanzamt Mühlhausen.

The reference line is how the office matches your money to your tax account: your German tax number (Steuernummer), your company name, and the period, for example the month of the monthly VAT return (UStVA) being paid. A payment without a clean reference can sit unallocated while late-payment surcharges accrue on your account.
Before you pay: these are the published payment details for this office from the federal jurisdiction list, the same dataset behind our Finanzamt lookup tool. Match them against the bank details printed on your most recent letter or assessment from the office; the document you hold is authoritative for your case. If you file through Vaytax with a SEPA direct debit mandate, there is nothing to transfer manually: the office collects what your return shows.

Got mail from Finanzamt Mühlhausen? It is in German, and it has a deadline.
Every letter this office sends is in German, and most carry a deadline: typically 14 days for a payment reminder (Mahnung) or a filing request (Aufforderung zur Abgabe), one month to object to an estimated assessment (Schätzbescheid). The letter type decides your next move, so identify it first. Upload a photo of the letter and Vaytax reads it for free: letter type, English translation, and every deadline and amount it names, in seconds.

Filing deadlines are Germany-wide, not office-specific.
Finanzamt Mühlhausen applies the same statutory VAT deadlines as every other German tax office: the monthly VAT return (UStVA), the annual VAT return (Umsatzsteuererklärung), and the EC Sales List all follow nationwide rules. The current dates live in two places we keep updated: the German VAT deadlines guide and the VAT deadline calendar (with a subscribable feed), so this page does not duplicate them.

Finanzamt Mühlhausen is the centrally assigned German tax office for VAT matters of companies established in Lithuania, under the German VAT jurisdiction regulation (UStZustV). The assignment follows the country of the company's legal seat, not where in Germany the business operates.
The published VAT payment account for Finanzamt Mühlhausen is IBAN DE83 8205 0000 3001 1116 28 (BIC HELADEFF820, Ld Bk Hess-Thür Gz Erfurt), per the federal jurisdiction list for foreign businesses. Use the payment reference format Steuernummer, company name, period (for example "123/456/78901 - Your Company Ltd - UStVA 06-2026") so the payment is matched to your tax account. Always compare against the bank details printed on your most recent letter from the office before paying.
The official language of German tax proceedings is German (Section 87 of the Fiscal Code), so letters from Finanzamt Mühlhausen arrive in German and responses should be filed in German. Replies in English risk being returned or ignored. In practice foreign companies let a German tax advisor handle the correspondence; Vaytax's free letter reader translates any letter from this office into plain English first, so you know what it says and which deadline applies.
Germany does not assign foreign companies to a local tax office. The VAT jurisdiction regulation (UStZustV) concentrates all foreign-company VAT files at 24 specialised offices, each covering a fixed set of countries. Companies with their legal seat in Lithuania are assigned to Finanzamt Mühlhausen, regardless of where in Germany they store goods or sell.
First find the deadline: most Finanzamt letters carry one, typically 14 days for a payment reminder (Mahnung) or filing request and one month for an objection (Einspruch) against an assessment. Then identify the letter type: estimated assessment (Schätzbescheid), payment reminder (Mahnung), hearing notice (Anhörung) or filing request (Aufforderung zur Abgabe) are the common ones for foreign sellers. Vaytax reads the letter for free: upload a photo and you get the letter type, an English translation and every deadline and amount it names, in seconds.
