This is how Germany's most popular mobile tax app was created
Taxfix is based on the simple idea that doing taxes should be easier, and that everyone should be able to take their finances into their own hands.
Taxfix: The intuitive solution to a well-known problem
Most people are afraid of doing their own tax return. They’re afraid of making mistakes or even getting into trouble with the tax office. But, in fact, 9 out of 10 people get a refund when they file their tax return.
We’re here to help taxpayers reclaim the money they’ve worked hard for – especially those who need it most.
That's why we offer an intuitive solution with our tax app that helps everyone get the best possible refund. With an included error check and built-in data check, your tax return will always be complete, accurate, and submitted fast. On average, you can complete your tax return in less than 30 minutes – regardless of whether you have any tax knowledge or not.
With Taxfix, you can file your tax return quickly and paperlessly from anywhere, via app or browser. Provide information on your tax situation according to the question-and-answer process to have your possible refund calculated. When you’re ready to submit, we forward your data to the tax office via the official ELSTER interface.
