Validate and submit taxes electronically

Submit EÜR and VAT advance returns directly via ELSTER

Motorica calculates the return data from your maintained business transactions, checks it with ERIC and submits it via ELSTER after your approval.

Motorica brings together invoices, receipts and payments for the income surplus statement (EÜR) and VAT advance return. Before submission, the data is checked with ERIC. The return is transmitted via ELSTER only after successful validation and your explicit approval.

From invoices and receipts to verifiable return data

An EÜR or VAT advance return is only as reliable as the underlying business data. Motorica uses maintained invoices, cancellations, receipts, payments and tax details as the basis for calculation.

  • Include outgoing invoices and cancellations
  • Include incoming receipts and input VAT data
  • Use payment data for the EÜR
  • Combine tax rates and tax amounts
  • Review incomplete or unresolved transactions before filing

ERIC checks the data before submission

Motorica passes the prepared data to ERIC, the official technical validation component of the ELSTER process. Formal errors must be corrected before submission can take place.

  • Validate return data technically
  • Display ERIC feedback clearly
  • Assign errors to a field or underlying issue
  • Allow corrections before submission
  • Only make validated data available for approval

Submission only after your approval

Motorica never sends tax data unnoticed in the background. After successful validation, you can see the status and deliberately initiate submission.

  • Display validation status before sending
  • Initiate submission through a user action
  • Technically prevent duplicate submissions
  • Store the submission status transparently
  • Retain feedback and the transmission log with the transaction

Check EÜR and VAT advance returns separately

The income surplus statement and VAT advance return serve different purposes. Their period, data basis, validation and submission status are therefore managed separately.

  • Calculate the EÜR for the relevant assessment period
  • Calculate the VAT advance return for the selected filing period
  • Check payment and cash-receipt data for the EÜR
  • Check VAT and input VAT for the VAT advance return
  • Handle correction processes transparently
