Notify extraction levy for mining activities

Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)

Service Description

If you have a permit for the commercial extraction of mineral resources or own a mine, you must pay an annual extraction tax. You must submit a mining levy declaration so that the amount of the levy can be determined.

Does your mining company have a mining license to extract certain mineral resources in a defined area in Germany? Or are you the owner of mining property? Then you must pay an annual extraction tax. To do this, you apply to the mining authority responsible for you for the levy to be set by submitting a mining tax declaration.

The mining permit or mine ownership - and therefore also the extraction tax - relates to so-called non-mining mineral resources.

The following applies to Schleswig-Holstein:

Calculation of the extraction levy

Depending on which mineral resource you extract, the State Office for Mining, Energy and Geology (LBEG) charges different rates for the extraction tax:
