The Bundesfinanzdirektionen were the German federal funding agencies with responsibility to the Federal Ministry of Finance that operated between 2008-2015. On January 1, 2016 it was replaced by the newly established German federal government's General Directorate Generalzolldirektion.
History
In 2008 the Bundesfinanzdirektionen replaced the federal parts of the Oberfinanzdirektionen in Germany. This was decided by the Finance Ministry in its draft concept on the future of the federal financial administration on 6 November 2006 and the Law on federal financial administration Finanzverwaltungsgesetz was changed accordingly on 1 January 2008. The Bundesfinanzdirektionen were the supreme authority for the main customs offices.
On 1 January 2016 the Bundesfinanzdirektionen, the Zollkriminalamt and the Bildungs- und Wissenschaftszentrum der Bundesfinanzverwaltung were transformed into one Generalzolldirektion (General Directorate).[1][2]
