Procedure

You submit the advance VAT return electronically via the officially designated interface, for example

with the free online product of the tax authorities "My ELSTER - your online tax office" or
with a commercial tax program.

If you use "My ELSTER", proceed as follows:

Visit "My ELSTER - your online tax office" on the Internet, for example.
Log in with your access data and your personal security procedure.
Select the menu item "Advance VAT return".
Select the relevant calendar year.
In the following step, select the transfer of previous data or continue without data transfer.
Enter your data on the following pages. "My ELSTER" will guide you through the entire process.
At the end of the process, "My ELSTER" checks your details and calculates the advance VAT payment due or any surplus.
Send the electronic advance VAT return.
If an advance payment is due, you must transfer it to the relevant tax office by the due date or issue the tax office with a SEPA direct debit mandate. Any surplus will be refunded to you automatically.

Alternatively, you can also transfer the advance VAT return directly from a commercial tax program to ELSTER via the electronic interface.
