How Norman builds your VAT return
Input VAT, revenue, and open issues stay prepared continuously instead of being collected at the deadline.
Review

File

VAT return software instead of German form marathons
Automatic instead of manual: Norman calculates VAT and input VAT continuously from your connected bank and uploaded receipts. The figures of your German VAT return build up automatically instead of being reconstructed from statements on the 10th of the month.
File online: You review the finished UStVA in Norman and submit it directly to the Finanzamt. No certificate setup and no German form fields to fill in.
For freelancers and companies: Monthly or quarterly filing, with or without a permanent deadline extension: Norman knows your cycle and reminds you before every deadline.
What Norman removes from your VAT return prep
Norman replaces month-end spreadsheets, input VAT hunts, and deadline panic with continuously prepared VAT data.

Norman instead of spreadsheets and statements for VAT returns
Revenue, input VAT, deadlines, and handoff stay in one workflow instead of splitting across spreadsheets, folders, and email threads.
| Manual spreadsheets + statements | |
|---|---|---|
| Source data | Revenue and input VAT prepared live | Collected right before the deadline |
| Receipts | Linked to payments and flagged when open | Missing only gets noticed while building the return |
| Deadlines | Status and next steps inside the workflow | Calendar reminder without data context |
| ELSTER / advisor | Structured VAT exports from Norman | Attachments, CSVs, and versions by email |
