Doing your taxes in a foreign country can be daunting. What with all the tax returns, deadlines, deductions and special exceptions, as an expat in Germany you may find the tax system complicated and difficult to manage by yourself. 

Added to which, finding a good English-speaking tax consultant who is familiar with both freelancer taxes and expats is both difficult and expensive. 

That’s why Sorted makes it incredibly easy for anyone freelancing in Germany to take care of their taxes.

Sorted helps freelancers take care of their tax obligations and communications with the Finanzamt.

Sorted is an online tax software that helps freelancers take care of their tax obligations, reports, payments and communications with the Finanzamt. With Sorted, you can: 

  • Easily create legally correct invoices
  • Track your income and expenses
  • Connect your bank account
  • Get a full overview of your taxes as a freelancer

Submit your tax reports directly to the Finanzamt

Based on your income and expenses, Sorted will automatically fill in all of your tax reports, and when the time comes, remind you to review and submit them electronically to the tax office - with just one click. 

Sorted is directly connected with the Finanzamt through their official software ELSTER. This means you do not need to create your own ELSTER account or certificate. Simply register for Sorted - and you’re sorted!
