Since the assessment period 2011, companies and certain other groups of people have been obliged to submit their annual tax returns electronically to the tax office. This also applies to declarations for the separate determination of tax bases. The basis for this was created by the law to modernize and reduce bureaucracy in the tax procedure (Tax Bureaucratic Reduction Act) and the 2010 Annual Tax Act.

The balance sheet must be submitted electronically for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2011.

Important notes

Please note

The declaration can be sent via ELSTER or via other software products (see links).
Only in exceptional cases can the tax office dispense with electronic transmission to avoid undue hardship. A written justification is required for this.
