If you are self-employed and liable for VAT, you can conveniently do your tax with Taxfix VAT Essentials. Are you a small business owner and also want to use Taxfix? Then we have a special solution for you here: Taxfix for Small Business Owners.
The guided registration process takes you through step by step – all you need to fill it out is the data related to your self-employment, such as your tax number. Once registration is complete, you only need your invoices and receipts for accounting to submit your VAT pre-registration.
You can start with your accounting for 2026 immediately and complete your annual accounts and your entire tax for 2026 at the beginning of 2027.
Introductory offer: Your first month is free. After that, it's €19.99/month + 19% VAT.
This product is designed for VAT-liable freelancers. It's not suited for small business owners under the Kleinunternehmerregelung (we have a separate product for that), or for very complex tax situations. You'll be guided to the right option during sign-up.

With Taxfix, you're never left wondering if you've done it right. A clear, guided, automated process tells you exactly what to do and when, so you never miss a deadline, and your VAT figures are always accurate before they reach the Finanzamt.
