Your €79/month covers the full scope of German VAT compliance — no add-ons, no surprise invoices.
Your USt-Voranmeldung is prepared and submitted every month to the Finanzamt via DATEV — the same system used by every German tax office. No delays, no errors.
Your Jahreserklärung (annual VAT return) is filed at year-end, reconciling all monthly filings and ensuring full compliance with German tax law.
Every filing is signed off by a licensed German Steuerberater (tax adviser), registered with the Steuerberaterkammer. This is a legal requirement that many providers skip.
All routine letters, confirmations, and inquiries from the German tax office are handled on your behalf. You never have to deal with German bureaucracy directly.
Communicate in English, French, or Italian. Your account manager speaks your language — no struggling with German tax jargon or automated translation.
When you need a new German VAT number, we submit your registration to the Finanzamt within 48 hours of receiving your documents. No weeks of waiting.

The only additional cost is the one-time €499 VAT registration fee if you need a new German VAT number. Complex advisory inquiries are billed at €200/hr but are rarely needed.
Yes. Vaytax is month-to-month with no lock-in contract. Cancel to the end of the following month. We’ll complete any filing period already in progress so you remain compliant.
Monthly USt-Voranmeldung filing, annual VAT declaration (Jahreserklärung), ZM registration, all standard Finanzamt correspondence, DATEV-native filing by a licensed Steuerberater, and a client dashboard with real-time filing status in English, French, and Italian.
Standard correspondence with the Finanzamt — routine letters, confirmations, status updates — is included at no extra charge. Only complex advisory inquiries requiring extended Steuerberater time are billed separately at €200/hr, and this is rarely needed.
Yes. As a German-registered Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, we charge 19% German VAT on our fees. For EU businesses with a valid VAT ID, the reverse charge mechanism applies and no VAT is added to your invoice.
Currently we offer monthly billing only. This keeps things simple and means you’re never locked into a long-term commitment. We may introduce annual plans with a discount in the future.
