Who Can Use Taxfix?
Taxfix is suitable for a variety of users, including:
💼 Employees: People who are in an employment relationship.
- Company pension plans: If your employer deducts contributions directly from your gross salary (gross salary conversion), these are tax-free and do not need to be entered separately in the app.
🏛️ Civil servants: Public sector employees at all levels.
🎓 Students: Enrolled university students.
🛠️ Trainees: Individuals in vocational training.
👴 Retirees: People in retirement.
🏢 Short-time workers: Employees affected by short-time work.
🏠 Landlords from the 2023 tax year: Taxfix supports tax returns for the following rental income:
- Rental of residential property owned solely or jointly (e.g., with a spouse, life partner, or heirs' community).
- Rental of undeveloped land and other immovable assets.
- Rental of material assets or granting of rights.
For these groups, Taxfix offers both the option to prepare the tax return independently and the Expert Service, where independent tax consultants handle the return.
