HOW IT WORKS Step 1: Choose the right plan Taxando supports employees with one or multiple employers, freelancers and self-employed (Gewerbe), students and trainees, mixed income and side income, work-related expenses, certain foreign income categories, and capital income (with restrictions). (Note: Agriculture and forestry, GmbH and other corporate entities, and complex international tax cases outside supported categories are not supported.) If you're self-employed, choose the Business category. Otherwise choose the employee category. Step 2: Choose the level of support Both employee and business packages are divided into standard and premium tier packages. Standard packages walk you through the submission process and allow for quick, secure submission of your tax return. But Taxando doesn't represent you before the tax office or communicate with the Finanzamt on your behalf. Premium packages include extended support: a licensed tax advisor reviews your information, prepares your Steuererklärung, submits it via ELSTER, and communicates with the Finanzamt if required.

Additional information about our Premium Employee Package: In most cases, you pay after receiving your refund. If you receive more than 99 EUR back from the Finanzamt, Taxando withholds 19%. The rest lands in your account. Payment before submission is required only if the expected refund is below 522 EUR, or your situation includes capital income, cryptocurrencies, rental income, or self-employment.

Additional information about our Premium Business Package: Our tax professionals will conduct a document review and tax optimization, and in the event of more complex tax situations, make you an individualized offer for our support. Final pricing depends on the number of documents, transactions, income level, and the complexity of your tax situation.

PRICE LIST Standard - from 39.99 EUR Premium - 19% of refund (min. 99 EUR) Business Standard - 89.90 EUR Business Premium - from 219 EUR
