Value added tax forms

The advance VAT return (Section 18 (1) UStG), the VAT return (Section 18 (3) sentence 1 UStG) and the application for a permanent extension of the deadline / the application for a special advance payment (Section 18 (1) sentence 1 and Section 48 (1) sentence 2 USTDV) must always be submitted in accordance with the officially prescribed data set by remote data transmission in accordance with the Tax Data Transmission Ordinance.

The ELSTER portal is available for the electronic transmission of forms. Information on this is available at the Internet address www.elster.de.

Due to the general obligation to submit forms electronically, the form templates are no longer provided in the form management system. In cases where the competent tax office has waived electronic transmission upon request to avoid undue hardship, the paper form is available for collection from the tax office.

Other forms are mainly available in a fillable version, which is provided centrally by the Federal Ministry of Finance. You can access the forms management system of the Federal Ministry of Finance via the following Internet address: http://www.formulare-bfinv.de/ or the following links.
