What can VAT GPT do?

Import Amazon and eBay CSV reports and split VAT for Germany and the EU (OSS).
Create the VAT advance return and annual return, EÜR, trade tax and income tax returns.
Upload invoices: the AI reads amounts, countries and tax rates; you review and confirm.
Send through ELSTER to the tax office with VAT GPT Pro; the OSS return goes directly to the BZSt. VAT of the country of destination applies if you are established only in Germany and your distance sales to other EU countries (together with certain electronic services) exceed 10,000 € net in the previous or the current year (§ 3c(4) UStG); the OSS scheme is then the way to avoid registering in each country (§ 18j UStG).
Create e-invoices as ZUGFeRD and XRechnung.

How do I check myself whether VAT GPT is legitimate?

Read the imprint: provider and address are there (imprint).
Look at the ELSTER directory: VAT GPT is listed in the ELSTER software directory. The entries there come from the manufacturers, so the directory is not a seal of quality.
Try it free: the Free plan costs nothing, and Go gives you 30 days of all Pro features. You see on your own data whether the figures are right before you send anything.
Check the values: you review and confirm the figures yourself before you send.

We show no customer reviews because we do not want to show invented ones; you can look for reviews on portals of your choice.

What this means for you: Legitimacy is checkable here: named provider, directory entry, free entry plan.
