Change in leadership of Balingen: New Appointee Announced

New Leadership at the Balingen Tax Office

Susanne Karrais has taken over as the new head of the Balingen Tax Office, succeeding Albin Geiger who retired in May 2025. Karrais, a native of Horb, began her career with the Balingen Tax Office as her first professional stop.

Karrais studied law in Bremen and Heidelberg before joining the tax office. Most recently, she served as the deputy head of the Rottweil Tax Office.

The Balingen Tax Office, which serves a diverse range of medium-sized businesses in the Zollernalbkreis district, is responsible for a significant portion of the region's tax revenue. In 2024, the total tax revenue managed by the office was approximately 1.28 billion euros.

The Balingen Tax Office is actively recruiting young talent to join its team of 283 staff members. The office is committed to providing educational opportunities for the community, including an outreach program called "Taxes in Schools," where employees visit classrooms to educate students about taxes.

For those seeking more information about the Balingen Tax Office, there is an external contact form available, as well as email addresses for the Press Office and the Citizen's Representative. The office also has an external link to its Press Office.

The current head of the Steuerverwaltungsstelle Schömberg, who will be succeeded by Karrais, is not explicitly named in the available search results. However, it is known that the Finanzamt Balingen, which includes Schömberg in its district, will be under Karrais's leadership.

Approximately 200,000 residents live in the district served by the Balingen Tax Office, which includes the cities of Albstadt, Balingen, Burladingen, Haigerloch, Hechingen, Meßstetten, Rosenfeld, and Schömberg.

While the Ministry of Finance is mentioned in relation to the Balingen Tax Office, no specific fact about the ministry was provided. Nonetheless, the office's new leadership is expected to continue its important work in managing the region's tax affairs.
