Digital Tax Assessment: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to understand your official tax notification and ensure your refund or payment is correct.
A Digital Tax Assessment is an official notification sent to you after you have filed a tax return. It tells you exactly how much money you will receive as a refund or how much you owe to the tax office.
Who it's for
This is for anyone who has submitted a tax return to the authorities.
What you get
You receive an official document, known locally as a Steuerbescheid, which acts as the final word on your tax filing. It provides a clear breakdown of your tax refund or the specific amount you are required to pay.
What it costs you
There is no cost to receive this assessment. It is delivered to you for free through the digital portal.
The catch to know
Once you receive this document, it is legally binding. This means you must check the figures carefully as soon as you get it. If you spot an error, you need to act immediately to correct it.
How to apply
- File your tax return through the official digital portal.
- Wait for the tax office to process your information.
- Check your digital inbox for the official notification.
- Review all the numbers to ensure they match your records.
