Hi all, I am an Australian with a British passport currently living and working in Italy, and I am evaluating a job offer from Germany. My friend, who already lives there tells me bring able to claim your wife and child as dependants makes a big difference to your taxes. My wife and child will probably stay in Italy for a year before joining me, and we will travel to each other on weekends. I will be a German resident but they won't. Will I still be able to claim them as dependants, I would be their only source of income.
Thanks for any info you have.
