About this app

Whether you're an employee, trainee, student, pensioner, or expat, you can now take taxes into your own hands.


With Taxfix (Köpenicker Str. 122, 10179 Berlin), you can fill out your tax return in the simple question-answer mode, or hand things over to an independent tax advisor who will file your taxes for you. Either way – complete your 2020 - 2023 income tax returns in no time at all.


// NEW: Expert Service
Taxfix connects you with an independent tax advisor so you can sit back and have your taxes filed for you. Simply upload your documents to the app and a professional will do the rest.

If you decide to file on your own with Taxfix:



// Step by step

Our app retrieves important info from you in a simple, conversational way – much like an interview. The intelligent question flow ensures that you only answer questions relevant to your case.



// No tax expertise required

You don't need tax knowledge to answer our questions. If you are unsure about something, the info boxes within the app offer assistance at any point.



// Simply photograph or upload your documents

Upload or photograph your annual payslip (Lohnsteuerbescheinigung) and a document to confirm your identity. To save you effort, we automatically transfer all relevant data from your annual payslip to the corresponding fields of your tax return.



// Risk-free calculation

Compared to the classic paper-form tax return, Taxfix's income tax calculation offers a distinct advantage: You can have your refund calculated – free of charge – and then decide whether or not you would like us to submit your tax return to the tax office.



// Paperless transmission

Your tax return gets filed electronically, using the tax authorities' official ELSTER interface. Thanks to the paperless transmission to your local tax office, you don't need to print or sign anything. Filing your taxes is a completely contactless transaction with Taxfix.



// Fair pricing policy

Downloading the Taxfix app, using the app, and calculating your tax refund are all free. For a flat fee of €39.99, or €59.99 for married couples and civil partnerships, you can submit your tax return directly to your local tax office. For 20% of your tax refund, you can have your taxes prepared and filed for you by an expert tax advisor.



// Fast & efficient

Did you know that taxpayers in Germany can look forward to an average refund of €1,095? Or that you're able to file your tax returns retroactively for up to four years? With Taxfix you can complete a tax return in under 30 minutes! So, what are you waiting for?

So so - somewhat easy, just like for other software or apps, though the Lohnsteuer scan didn't work well. No real explanations so I had to Google to not guess. Overall, not very transparent and I had to search for the actual return. App made a mistake on the return (applied deductible for married couples instead of single, though I entered it correctly). If you speak German, there are better apps that are more clear and easier to use. The customer service is courteous and helpful though.

The customer service is fantastic! It is a nice application but unfortunately some existing features disappeared and that is very confusing for the user. Before when you submitted it was still possible to shortly add something. Now not anymore. You should hint this very clearly to the user. I realized now shortly that a data was missed but I cannot edit my application. Also you can fill the data only sequentially now which does not make sense at all. The regular mandatory app update is not nice.

I used Taxfix for the first time and loved its English interface, making navigation and understanding steps incredibly easy. It's straightforward and user-friendly, though it gets slightly laggy with more data filled-in. Highly recommend for a hassle-free tax filing experience!
