Taxes for your GmbH or UG, without a tax firm

Corporate tax at 15 % plus the 5.5 % solidarity surcharge, 15.825 % in total, and trade tax at 3.5 % times the municipal multiplier, from the first euro of profit. At €100,000 profit and a 400 % multiplier, that is €15,825 plus €14,000, about 30 % in total. On top come VAT and, once someone draws a salary, wage tax.

Every year the corporate tax return, the trade tax return, the annual VAT return and the E-Bilanz, and during the year the VAT returns plus, depending on the business, EC sales lists and the Lohnsteuer-Anmeldung. Norman builds all of them from your bookkeeping, and you file them straight from the app via ELSTER.

Yes. A GmbH or UG is not required to use a tax advisor. Norman builds the annual accounts, E-Bilanz, corporate and trade tax from your bookings, and you file them directly with the Finanzamt, on the Max plan for €39 a month billed yearly.

The Max plan costs €468 a year and includes VAT returns, EC sales lists, annual accounts with E-Bilanz, and the corporate, trade and annual VAT returns; day-to-day bookkeeping is free. At a tax advisor, bookkeeping usually costs €200 to €800 a month, plus €512 to €2,048 net under the official fee schedule for the closing of a small GmbH.

Yes, and for employees too. You set the salary, tax class and insurance once. Norman calculates wage tax on the official BMF payroll algorithm and the social contributions, files the Lohnsteuer-Anmeldung, and pays salaries, contributions and wage tax in one transfer.

Yes. Norman exports your bookings in DATEV format, and your advisor gets their own access. They review the accounts with structured data instead of chasing receipts.

Norman produces the condensed balance sheet for micro-entities under § 326 (2) HGB as a PDF. You upload it on the Publikations-Plattform, and disclosure is done.
