Change in Leadership at Balingen: New Appointee Announced

In the heart of the picturesque Zollernalbkreis region, the Balingen Tax Office has a new head. Susanne Karrais, a seasoned tax professional, has taken over the reins, following the retirement of Albin Geiger at the end of May.

Susanne Karrais, a native of Horb, brings a wealth of experience to her new role. She began her professional journey at the Balingen Tax Office, making it her first posting. After honing her skills, she moved on to the Rottweil Tax Office, where she served as the deputy head.

The Balingen Tax Office, under Karrais's leadership, oversees a district that includes the cities of Albstadt, Balingen, Burladingen, Haigerloch, Hechingen, Meßstetten, Rosenfeld, and Schömberg. The region is home to approximately 200,000 residents and boasts a broadly diversified medium-sized economy, with prominent companies falling within its jurisdiction. However, the specific names of these companies are not publicly identified in the available sources.

Karrais and her team at the Balingen Tax Office are focused on attracting young talent and fostering public understanding of taxes. As part of this initiative, they participate in the "Taxes in Schools" programme, where staff members visit school classes to provide insights into their work and general information about taxes.

The Balingen Tax Office currently employs 283 staff members and manages a total tax revenue of approximately 1.28 billion euros. For those seeking to reach out to the tax office, an external contact form is available, and a citizen representative can also be contacted via a provided link. For media-related inquiries, the Ministry of Finance's Press Office can be contacted, with an external link to the Press Office available for further information.
