ELSTER & DATEV
Your documents.
Organised and ready.
TaxAnker creates the VAT advance return and DATEV package from reviewed entries. The VAT advance return is checked in TaxAnker and, once you approve it, sent directly to the tax authorities via ERiC. The DATEV package remains encrypted locally and is released specifically for import.

Direct ELSTER submission with ERiC
ELSTER
Prepare and check your VAT advance return in TaxAnker and submit it directly to the tax authorities.
Choose the period and VAT advance return
Select a month or quarter. TaxAnker creates a provisional VAT advance return summary from the reviewed entries.
Check figures and notes
Compare the amounts with the documents and resolve outstanding notes. Unreviewed or unsupported cases block submission.
Use your certificate and PIN
Choose your ELSTER certificate and enter the PIN only for this transaction. TaxAnker does not store the PIN.
Check and submit with ERiC
ERiC checks the plausibility of the VAT advance return. Once you explicitly confirm, ERiC sends it encrypted to the tax authorities' acceptance servers; TaxAnker displays the result.
No manual transfer to Mein ELSTER: submission starts only after your explicit approval. Nothing is submitted automatically in the background.
How ERiC works in TaxAnker
ERiC is the tax administration's official ELSTER software library. TaxAnker prepares the VAT advance return locally, ERiC checks it for plausibility and transmits it over a secure connection.
Your certificate and PIN remain under your control. The PIN is used temporarily only for the selected transaction. Before submission, you see the summary and explicitly confirm the filing.
Official information about ELSTER and ERiCYour ZIP package for DATEV
DATEV
Bring invoice data and original documents together, store the package encrypted and prepare it for DATEV.
Choose a period or individual documents
Filter by invoice date or select individual documents. You decide exactly which files belong in the package.
Bundle XML data and documents
TaxAnker checks your selection and creates a ZIP with structured XML invoice data and the original documents. Missing or unsupported details must be resolved first.
Store encrypted, release when needed
The prepared package stays encrypted in local storage. For import, you release an unencrypted ZIP copy for ten minutes; you can extend this time if needed.
Import into DATEV and check the result
Import the released ZIP copy unchanged through DATEV Belegtransfer into a supported DATEV environment. Review the result in the import log.
You need a DATEV environment with compatible XML import and the required access rights. You start the import yourself through DATEV Belegtransfer.
ZIP, encryption and original documents
Structured XML invoice data and the corresponding original documents. The initial version supports reviewed incoming and outgoing EUR invoices in supported tax cases. Special cases may block preparation.
The local preparation is encrypted, with a retention period of seven days. The released ZIP copy is unencrypted for import. TaxAnker cleans up expired preparations and import copies while running or at the next start; your original documents are preserved. You upload the package and review the import log yourself.
Official DATEV handover workflow (PDF)You choose which documents go into the package and when to release it. Check the details against the originals and review the result before using it for tax purposes.
