If you work as a working student at Zenjob, we guarantee you a salary of more than 603€, therefore employment as a mini-job is not possible and you are obliged to pay income tax.
The amount of the deductions depends on the amount of your earnings for the year and on the tax class with which we register you with the tax authorities.
