Taxdoo discontinued VAT compliance on 30 April 2026. From May 2026 onwards, Taxdoo will not file your VAT return, will not maintain accounting exports, and will not handle tax-office correspondence.
Your Tax ID is safe. It belongs to your company, not to Taxdoo. Migration is a power-of-attorney handover (Vollmachtswechsel), not a re-registration. There is no gap in your tax registration if the handover is timely.
Vaytax takes over for €79/month. Licensed German tax advisor, every filing reviewed and signed by our tax advisor team, submitted via the Finanzamt, the same infrastructure your Taxdoo exports were built for. Engagement letter and Vollmacht in your inbox within 48 hours of registering.

A clean handover from Taxdoo to Vaytax takes 1–2 weeks. Here's the path.
You start your Vaytax registration. The engagement letter and Vollmacht (power of attorney) appear in your inbox within 48 hours. You sign electronically, no printer, no scan.
From Taxdoo, request the last 12 months of VAT return + ZM filings (PDFs), the latest annual VAT return (Jahreserklärung) if filed, an accounting export covering 1 January 2026 to handover, any open tax-office correspondence, and confirmation that they've terminated their Vollmacht. Start this on day 1, response times slip during a wind-down.
We file the new Vollmacht. Your assigned Finanzamt processes the Vollmachtswechsel and routes future correspondence and filing access to us. The Tax ID is unchanged.
You enter the May 2026 sales totals into the Vaytax dashboard (typically ~5 minutes, totals per VAT rate, EU acquisitions, reverse-charge supplies). You can also paste in your Amazon/Shopify monthly export directly.
Our tax advisor reviews and signs the return. We file with the Finanzamt and send you the filing confirmation (Übermittlungsprotokoll) plus the accounting export. Your migration is verified clean.
Why Vaytax for Taxdoo migrators
You picked Taxdoo because of licensed tax advisor, fixed pricing, and English self-service. Vaytax delivers all three, and adds a named tax advisor on every return.
The same professional infrastructure Taxdoo's exports were built for. Every VAT return reviewed, signed, and submitted to the Finanzamt by a licensed German Steuerberater. Zero re-architecture, your transition is invisible to the tax office.
Reviewed and signed by our licensed German tax advisor team (Steuerberaterkammer Rheinland-Pfalz), not a "partner network" handoff. A real human you can email and reach.
Annual VAT declaration, EU ZM, all routine tax-office correspondence, included. No surcharges by transaction count, no separate audit-defense rate. Cancel anytime; notice runs to end of next month.
The same self-service experience you had with Taxdoo, in English. Email [email protected] in English, German, or French, replies come from the same team handling your file.
Every VAT return versioned per period, built for §153 AO Berichtigungen (corrections). When you re-file, the prior version is preserved with a clean supersedes link. No silent overwrites.
Our tax advisor team reviews each registration personally. Registering now triggers the engagement letter and Vollmacht in your inbox within 48 hours, no waiting list.
Where each replacement provider sits on price, model, and Germany specialisation.

| Per-transaction fees? | No | Sometimes | Quote-based | No |
| Licensed tax advisor named on filings | Yes, our team | Partner network | Personal expert | Yes |
| the Finanzamt native | Yes | Platform layer | Platform layer | Yes |
| tax-office correspondence included | Yes | Tier-dependent | Tier-dependent | Yes |
| English dashboard | Yes | Yes | Yes | Often German-only |

Pan-EU sellers in 3+ countries should consider hellotax or countX for the multi-country bundle. Germany-focused sellers, including Pan-EU FBA sellers whose primary risk is the German registration, are typically better served by a Germany specialist.

The Taxdoo migration is when competitors will quote attractively then surface fees later. Get these answers in writing.
"Is a licensed German tax advisor named on my filings, and are they a member of a Steuerberaterkammer?"
The answer should be a name and a Kammer. "Our partner network" is a yellow flag, you want to know exactly who signs your return.
"What is the all-in monthly cost for Germany, in writing, with no per-transaction surcharges?"
Get it in the engagement letter. Quote-based pricing during migration season often surfaces tier upgrades after onboarding.
"Is tax-office correspondence included? How are audits or queries billed?"
This is where multi-country platforms tend to bill separately at €150–200/hour. Get the boundary in writing.
"What is the cancellation notice period? Any auto-renewal?"
Watch for 12-month auto-renewal clauses. Vaytax cancels at the end of the following month with no auto-renewal.
"Can you commit to filing my May 2026 VAT return by 10 June, in writing?"
If they can't commit to a date in writing, they don't have capacity. Move on.
No. The Tax ID and USt-IdNr. are tied to your company entity, not to Taxdoo. Switching is a power-of-attorney handover, Vollmachtswechsel, not a re-registration. There is no gap in your tax registration.
It happens. Start the request on day 1 of your migration. We can begin onboarding (Mandatsvereinbarung, Vollmacht) without your full Taxdoo handover pack, your historical filings are useful for context, but not strictly required to file the May VAT return itself, which we prepare from your direct turnover data.
Yes. The standard cut-over: Taxdoo files your last reporting period (April 2026), Vaytax files from May 2026 onward. As long as the Vollmachtswechsel is processed before your next deadline, no period is uncovered.
Yes. Dauerfristverlängerung sits with your company at the tax office, it's not tied to Taxdoo. The 1/11 deposit you've paid is on file with the tax office; the new tax advisor files under the same extension. No re-application.
ZM is included in Vaytax's €79/month. If you have intra-EU B2B supplies (Pan-EU FBA cross-border movements, B2B sales to other EU countries), we file the monthly ZM alongside the VAT return. No separate charge.
Included. The 2025 annual return that Taxdoo would have filed for you is now your responsibility, Vaytax can take that on as part of the migration. Standard German annual VAT return deadline is 31 July of the following year (or 28/29 February of the year after, with tax advisor-extension).
For the calendar month of the cut-over, you may. Taxdoo's last billable month is typically April (the period they file before exiting). Vaytax billing starts the month we file your first return. Total double-billed period: typically zero, occasionally one month.
If your problem is one specific letter rather than ongoing monthly filing, send the letter here for a fixed-price quote within 4 hours (weekdays 9-18 CET). A licensed German tax advisor reviews your case. No subscription, no charge to ask.
Register now. Engagement letter and Vollmacht in your inbox within 48 hours. May filing in our pipeline by early June.
