German VAT Return Filing

My corporation needs its very first German VAT return submitted. All sales, purchase, and bank data have been captured digitally and can be exported immediately. The work involves reviewing those records, calculating the exact input and output VAT, completing the USt-VA (and, if necessary, the annual USt-Erklärung), and transmitting everything through ELSTER.

Deliverables
• Checked and reconciled transaction file
• Completed VAT form(s) ready for ELSTER
• Electronic submission and Übertragungsprotokoll as proof
• Short memo that explains the key figures and any assumptions

The job is finished once the Finanzamt confirms successful receipt without errors. Experience with German corporate VAT and ELSTER is required so the process runs smoothly and on time.
