Important: No Tax Advice

Steuvo is NOT a tax advisor (Steuerberater) within the meaning of § 2 StBerG. Steuvo does not provide individual tax advice. Tax calculations are estimates based on the data you enter. For complex tax situations, please consult a licensed Steuerberater.

Liability

Tax calculations are estimates based on user input. Steuvo does not guarantee the accuracy of calculations. Users are responsible for verifying their tax data before submission. Steuvo's liability is limited to the service fee paid. The limitations in §§ 7-10 DDG apply.

Payment Terms

Payment is required before ELSTER submission. All prices include applicable taxes. Payment is processed securely via Stripe.

Right of withdrawal: 14 days (§ 355 BGB). The right of withdrawal expires once ELSTER submission has been initiated, as this constitutes delivery of digital content (§ 356 Abs. 4 BGB).
