Head Office Darmstadt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oberfinanzkammer Darmstadt , later Obersteuerdirektion Darmstadt, was the supreme authority of the financial administration in the Grand Duchy of Hesse . It was under the Ministry of Finance of the government of the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

Authority history

On September 24, 1821, the Upper Finance Chamber was formed as the only higher authority for tax matters in the Grand Duchy. It replaced the court chambers in Gießen and Darmstadt, which had previously performed this function at the provincial level for the province of Upper Hesse and the province of Starkenburg . In the province of Rheinhessen , the provincial directorate had performed this function. The Upper Rhine Construction Inspection, the Coin Deputation, the Weights and Measures Commission and the Upper Construction College were also dissolved and integrated into the new Oberfinanzkammer. The last, however, was spun off again in 1822 as the senior building management. The upper finance chamber was divided into two sections.

In 1849, after the March Revolution, the financial administration was restructured. The first section of the Oberfinanzkammer was renamed the Obersteuerdirektion and became independent. In 1871 the chief customs directorate was incorporated into the chief tax directorate. The background was that the customs duties in the German Empire had become an imperial matter.

In 1879 the Head Tax Office was abolished and replaced by a tax department in the Ministry of Finance.
