Frequently Asked Questions About Taxfix

Is Taxfix for real?

With over 50,000 reviews, the Taxfix app has 4.6 out of 5 stars across all app stores—that’s how satisfied Tafix users are. Taxfix is TÜV-certified since February 2021.

If you are not obligated to pay taxes or expect a tax refund of €50 or below, Taxfix files your tax return for free. However, if you are obligated to file taxes and/or receive a tax refund of over €50, the Taxfix app charges only €39.99 to file your taxes.

Can I deduct the Taxfix costs as my tax advisor fees?

Yes, you can. You can easily set this up in the Taxfix app.

When do I pay Taxfix?

Taxfix calculates your tax return for free, no matter what. You may be charged only when you submit your taxes to the tax office. Once you enter the payment amount, your IBAN, and click on ‘Pay Now’, the amount is automatically debited from your account within 4-5 working days.

Is Taxfix better than ELSTER?

ELSTER is not friendly to those who have limited knowledge of taxes. These are some common issues with ELSTER:

The tax refund is often too low
The form is challenging and not intuitive
Easy to have errors if you’re not used to taxes

Taxfix aims to calculate your rightful tax returns without errors or stress. That’s why Taxfix has a dedicated support team that’s ready to answer your questions at all times.

What payment methods can I use?

Based on the account details you enter in the questionnaire, the costs will be deducted via direct debit.

What is Taxfix?

Taxfix is a fintech start-up founded by Mathis Büchi and Lino Teuteberg in 2016. Taxfix enables people (who are clueless about taxes) to receive quick, easy and legal tax returns. Taxfix has been available in Germany since 2017 and has recent expansions in Italy and France.

Who can use Taxfix?

The Taxfix app is suitable for anyone who has been to Germany for at least part of the year. It does not cater to the following groups of people:

Freelancers, self-employed and traders
Renter
Landlords and lessors of apartments and houses
People supporting adult relatives through alimony
Farmers and foresters
People with income from photovoltaic systems

We are constantly working on making our app available to a wider audience.

For which years can I submit a tax return with Taxfix?

You can submit your tax return for four years retrospectively. As of today, you can also submit the voluntary tax return for 2017.
