Description of the
Anyone who wants to fish in Bavaria and requires a Bavarian fishing licence must pay the fishing tax; it can be paid either for a period of five years or once for the entire period of validity.
The fishing levy is used exclusively to promote fishing. The funds are mainly allocated by the Landesfischereiverband Bayern e. V. (Bavarian Fisheries Association) within the framework of statutory regulations.
Deadlines
If you have a fishing licence for life and have only paid the fishing levy for five years, the fishing levy is due again after these five years if you wish to continue fishing.
Costs
If paid for five years, the fishing levy is EUR 40.
If you make a one-off payment, you will have to pay a maximum of €352 (if you apply at the age of 14). The older you are when you apply, the greater the reduction in the one-off payment fee. For example, if you are 45 years old when you submit your application, the fishing licence fee for a lifetime fishing licence is still €160 for a one-off payment.
The fishing tax for the annual fishing licence for tourists is €15.
Under certain conditions, which you can find out from the municipality, the fishing tax is reduced to 50% of the regular amount.
