ExpressSteuer fights for tax justice!
We want to give everyone the opportunity to file a professional tax return and claim back their refund if they paid too much taxes – Regardless of income, language barriers or knowledge of the German tax system.
In the last 4 years, ordinary workers have paid about 40 billion EUR too much tax because 11.6 million people did not file their tax returns.
We want to change that.
First calculate free of charge, then commission
At ExpressSteuer, you can calculate your expected basic refund free of charge and without obligation using our smart online questionnaire. Only in the second step do you commission our tax experts for even higher refunds. Then you don’t need to worry about anything else.
Including expert check
Many employees are afraid that a tax advisor will be surprisingly expensive and that nothing will be left of the refund in the end. That’s why we take over the costs for you. With our tax advisor check guarantee, you can be sure that your case has been individually examined, optimised within the legally possible framework and represented for you before the tax office, so that you get the best out of your tax return.
Including tax office service
Once the tax office has issued the assessment for you, our tax advisors will check it for accuracy and file an appeal if necessary.
Fair prices
In exchange, we only get a part (20%) of your refund. Those who were in short-time work in 2020 pay a fixed price of 49€ for the corresponding tax year. You enter the costs for your tax return in the income-related expenses in your next tax return.
No refund? No costs. No risk.
It gets even better – if the tax office does not pay out your refund, there are no costs for you!
Our Win/Win promise:
We’ll do everything we can to make sure you get the biggest refund possible, and we’ll get a cut of it in return.
What does refund potential mean?
The „Reimbursement potential“ shows you how high your reimbursement is likely to be before it has gone through our expert check. By checking and optimising your data, the smallest adjustments can in most cases result in higher reimbursement amounts. Please note that the calculations are based on your input.
What is an expert check?
Every case is carefully and individually examined at ExpressSteuer. Often, further refund possibilities are hidden or can be optimised via lump sums. Even if an AI calculates the basis, your tax return is placed in the hands of a tax advisor.
What is a data retrieval?
Your employer, your health insurance company and other institutions report your wage data to the tax office. This data forms the basis for your tax return. Since we as tax advisors receive a mandate from you, we are allowed to retrieve this data for you via an official interface to the tax office.
No data is retrieved that is not related to your tax return, it may not be passed on to third parties and is only stored on German security servers.
What does tax advisor service mean?
The tax advisor service offers you several advantages: You immediately get an extended submission deadline until 28/29 February of the year after next. However, the assignment must be made by 31 July of the following year of your tax return. The deadline for 2020 is exceptionally 31 October. With the tax consultant guarantee, you can be sure that your tax return has been checked and optimised by a professional before it goes to the tax office. The tax advisor will clarify any queries for you and – if necessary – even lodge an appeal.
What is a tax office service?
The tax office service not only clarifies queries about your tax return directly with the tax office, it also cross-checks the assessment. This way you can be sure that you have really received everything you are entitled to. Otherwise, the tax advisor will file an appeal on your behalf.
You also benefit from the service in the event of subsequent payments. We will clarify for you whether you can have the back payment reduced by offsetting the previous years, or optionally obtain deferrals, instalment payments and other advantages for you.

Why should you do your tax return with ExpressSteuer?
Because ExpressSteuer offers you a digital tax advisor service that you can also benefit from as an individual. You can simply get started without prior knowledge and without paperwork and have your tax return submitted online. And usually for 4 years in arrears! We take care of everything else. First get a free & non-binding calculation, then commission it. ExpressSteuer pays all the costs for your tax advisor and receives only 20% of your refund. Short-time workers even pay only 49 € fixed price. You simply include the costs in the income-related expenses on your next tax return.
What are the benefits of the free tax calculator?
The tax calculator is a free and non-binding way to find out whether your tax return is worthwhile and what the expected base value of your refund before optimisation will be. It also shows you whether you are obliged to submit your tax return or whether you would have to expect an additional payment. You can then order a check and optimisation of your data for even higher refunds at a charge.
Does the tax advisor service make a difference?
Yes! Every tax return goes through the hands of a tax expert and is completely prepared for you, tax-optimised within the legal framework in order to secure even higher refunds. This way you can be sure that refund possibilities are optimally used. You don’t have to worry about anything else. A tax advisor will deal with all queries from the tax office and – if necessary – even file an appeal on your behalf. So that you get what you are really entitled to.
Why does it only take 5 minutes?
The time of searching for receipts fro hourse and filling out complicated forms is over! With ExpressSteuer, all you have to do is answer a few simple questions. In the background, an artificial intelligence calculates your estimated refund based on the data you enter. You don’t have to worry about anything else, because one of our tax advisors will take care of everything else for you. He or she requests all the necessary data directly from the tax office and can use it to prepare your tax return. Our experts will check individually for further refund possibilities. Don’t worry: our fair pricing already includes the tax advisor.
What papers do I need to have ready?
To prepare the tax return, NONE. Only when the tax advisor is to send your tax return to the tax office do we need your income tax certificate or any pay slip (does not have to be current) and a photo of your ID so that we can be sure that you are really doing the tax return for yourself.
What happens to my data?
Your data is safe with us and is stored on secure servers in Germany. Information about your employer and your health insurance company is sent to the tax office, which is necessary for the submission of the tax return. By placing your order, you agree that we only access this data. You can revoke your consent at any time at datenschutz@expresssteuer.com. Data is only passed on to third parties during the transmission of your tax return to the tax office.
Do I have to wait until the tax office writes to me?
NO! The tax office does not inform you if you are entitled to a refund! Only if you are obliged to pay tax will you be asked to do so at some point. When the tax office writes to you, it is usually already too late and your tax has been estimated. You are responsible for submitting your tax on time. Otherwise, you will forfeit your right to a refund or you may be subject to high late payment surcharges and estimates, which may be to your disadvantage.
When do I have to submit my tax return?
As an exception, you must submit your tax return for 2020 by 31 October. The regular deadline is 31 July of the following year. With ExpressSteuer you immediately benefit from extended filing deadlines, because with the appointment of a tax advisor you automatically have until the last day of February of the following year. If you are required to submit your tax return, it must be commissioned by 31 July of the following year. If you submit the return without a tax advisor, it must also be submitted to the tax office. If you submit your tax return with a tax advisor, you have until 28/29 February of the year after next if you submit it on time. For all voluntary returns, the deadline is 4 years retroactively, on 31 December of each year.
What does the service cost?
Completing and checking your tax return costs nothing at first! The real-time tax calculator shows you, based on your input, how much your expected refund will be before optimisation. Only when you have received your refund from the tax office do we get 20% of it (incl. VAT). A fair offer, because if you get nothing, we get nothing! Short-time workers benefit from the solidarity offer of 49 € for the tax return from a professional.
How do I get my refund?
So that we can pre-finance your tax return and you only pay fees on the amount actually refunded, your refund is parked in our trust account free of charge during the tax assessment. This way, we bear the entire risk and transfer your money to an account of your choice. The fees are automatically offset against your refund.
Who is ExpressSteuer suitable for?
ExpressSteuer is the perfect solution for all employees who draw their salary exclusively from dependent employment and pay wage tax in Germany. Short-time workers and recipients of wage replacement benefits in the relevant tax year also benefit from the tax service.
Who do I contact if I have any questions?
After you have placed your order, we will send you a confirmation email and regular updates on your tax case. Queries are usually answered within 72 hours.
