Your part of the monthly return: four minutes, not four hours.

Send us your figures however is least work for you: copy last month's return forward, upload your sales report and we draft the figures from it, or type them in. Watch the VAT due update live and submit when you're ready. From there it's on us: reviewed and filed with your Finanzamt.

  • Upload your sales reportAmazon, easybill, lexoffice, sevDesk or any DATEV-format export; we read every line and draft the figures, you review and submit. How to get the file: from Amazon · from easybill.
  • Already have a bookkeeper? Keep them.Whatever your books are kept in, if it exports in DATEV format (lexoffice, sevDesk, easybill and most German bookkeeping tools do) we read it. You do not change how your bookkeeping works, and your bookkeeper does not learn our software.
  • Reconciled to your file, or rejected with guidanceWhat we read must add up to your report's own total. A file we cannot read reliably (re-saved in Excel, cut off, the wrong report) is rejected with exact instructions, never silently wrong.
  • Copy a previous returnOne click copies any previous month's figures in, including your EU sales list. Every copied figure stays visibly marked until you've looked at it, and you confirm before anything is filed.
  • Plain-English UI, real tax codes behind itToggle "Did you sell to German customers?", we map your input to the underlying line items in the background. Tax-advisor-clean every time.
  • Live VAT-due previewSee the running total update as you fill in each section. No surprises at submit.

With a SEPA mandate the office collects it. Without one, we give you the exact bank details and reference. We never hold client funds.

Selling B2B across the EU? Your EU sales list (ZM) is built from the same report, and every customer VAT ID on it is checked against the EU VIES register before you submit. You fix or acknowledge any flagged line first, your return still files on time, and open questions are resolved with your advisor afterwards. Amazon Pan-EU stock movements between warehouses are detected and handled too.

Selling B2C across the EU? One quarterly return covers all 27 countries.

When you ship from your German stock to consumers in other EU countries, the Union One-Stop-Shop lets you file it all on one quarterly return through Germany, instead of registering country by country. We add it to your account when you first need it, which for a company established outside the EU is your first cross-border sale.

  • One return, 27 countriesEnter your B2C sales per destination country; we build and file the quarterly OSS return through Germany.
  • Non-EU sellers qualify tooUK, US, or China-based? Stock shipped from Germany makes Germany your member state of identification. No EU subsidiary needed.
  • Switched on only when you need itA clearly separate add-on (€300 setup + €200/quarter), turned on when you first sell cross-border, never billed before.
