Previously, tax returns were filled out on forms and sent to the tax office by mail. Nowadays, thanks to ELSTER, it’s easier and faster.
Here we have summarized the benefits for you:
- Preferred and expedited processing by the tax offices
- Fewer documents required
- Time savings through data transfer (Master data is carried over from previous years, data is checked and aggregated)
- Motivation through tax calculation: when entering data, it shows how much tax is likely to be refunded
- Control: typos, forgotten zeros are detected by the software. Errors are thus quickly corrected.
- Reminder: The digital tax helpers remind you of further deduction possibilities such as childcare costs, craftsman costs, etc.
- Orientation and assistance during entry. If an entry is not made in the correct place, the program notices it. Mistakes are avoided.
- Tax-deductible – the expenses for the digital helper can be deducted from taxes
- Paperless declaration
