The payslip is an important document and official proof of your income. You will receive it every month per e-mail and additionally you can ind it in your Mein.Smart account.
The Lohnsteuerbescheinigung is an income tax certificate that you receive for a full calendar year. It shows all contributions that you have paid that year. You will find this document in you Mein.Smart account.as well at the beginning of the following year. You might need this document for your tax declaration.

Net salary
The "Net salary" line shows the amount you receive from Smart as your salary at the end of the month.

The payslip also contains your Sozialversicherungsnummer (SV-Nr.) and your Steuer-Identifikationsnummer (Steuer-ID) - both numbers can be found in the box at the top left.
