Service Description

If you want to fish or go fishing in Schleswig-Holstein, you have to pay a fishing tax per calendar year.

If you want to fish or go fishing in Schleswig-Holstein, you must pay a fishing tax for the respective calendar year. You can pay the fishing tax on site (at the competent authority) or via the online service of the higher fisheries authority.

The digital proof of payment of the fishing levy must be printed out or in electronic form (e.g. on a smartphone).

You do not have to pay the fishing tax in the following cases: in pond farms, in special fishing production facilities, in small private waters. Persons who fish in coastal waters on the basis of inter- or supranationally agreed access rights and persons who fish together with fishing rights holders or fishing rights holders or their assistants who hold a fishing license do not have to pay a fishing tax either.

  • For this you will need proof of identity (e.g. identity card) and, if available, your fishing license.
  • After paying the tax and the administrative fee, the digital proof of payment of the fishing tax is printed out at the local regulatory authority and handed over immediately and can also be sent by e-mail on request.

  • Please log into your service account on the state's service portal. If you have not yet opened a service account, please create one first (free of charge).
  • Select the "Fishing levy payment" service and enter the required data. In particular, select the years for which you wish to pay the levy.
