Frequently asked questions
What is Taxfix?
Taxfix lets you file quick and paperless taxes from anywhere. You can use Taxfix as an app or on your browser. You don’t need any tax knowledge or experience. Use the inquiry-response process, get your tax refund calculated and if you choose to submit your tax return with us, we transfer your data to the tax authorities using the secure ELSTER interface.
How does Taxfix work?
After you register with Taxfix using the app or browser, you answer about 70 questions that are specific to your tax case. We only ask questions relevant to your tax return. In the next step, the app calculates your estimated tax refund. Once you choose to submit, we perform a plausibility check and transmit your paperless tax return to your responsible tax office in an encrypted form. The tax office sends your refund to your bank account and also your official tax assessment.
How much does Taxfix cost?
Download the Taxfix app from the Apple App Store / Google Play Store or open Taxfix in your browser. Do it risk-free: We calculate your potential tax result at no charge. Next, you decide whether you want to file with us. Taxfix entails a fixed charge of EUR 39.99 for each year you file; EUR 59.99 for married couples and civil partnerships who file together.
Where do I get tips on taxes?
You cannot simply file an accurate tax return out of thin air. When it comes down to personal finances and legal taxes, we understand why you may be cautious, or even sceptical. For further information, Taxfix offers guidelines and tax tips. These provide general tax information that help you optimise your returns but don’t cater to individual tax cases.
