Career start in the Saxon tax administration

184 young people have started their careers in the Saxon tax administration. "They have chosen a responsible and important job," said Finance Minister Hartmut Vorjohann (CDU) at a ceremony in Dresden. There, they were officially inducted into the service and took their oath of office.

"I am delighted that you have chosen to join the civil service and I am convinced that you will enrich our administration with fresh ideas and energy," said the minister.

Study or training as tax administrators

100 of the candidates will complete a two-year theoretical training course and 84 will study, according to the ministry, each with practical phases at a tax office. After successful completion, they would then have a "wide range of employment opportunities" in the tax administration. The 24 tax offices across the country have a total of around 6,800 employees.
