Appeal
The notification can be made informally by enclosing the documents specified in Section 18 (2) or (3) KrWG.
The form included in the appendix requests the relevant information so that nothing is forgotten and processing is delayed due to incomplete documents. The use of the form is therefore recommended.
What else should I know?
Anyone who fails to report a charitable or commercial collection, or fails to report it correctly, completely or on time, commits an administrative offense. This can be punished with a fine of up to 10,000 euros.
