Create your appeal against an incorrect tax assessment in seconds. The AI drafts a professional letter referencing the German Fiscal Code and Income Tax Act.
Important Tips
- Appeal deadline: 1 month after notification of the decision (Section 355 AO)
- Consider a simple amendment under Section 172(1) No. 2a AO as a faster alternative
- Apply for suspension of enforcement for disputed additional payments
- Carefully compare the tax assessment with your tax return — also check calculation errors
Notice Period

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a formal appeal and a simple amendment?
A formal appeal under Section 355 AO is the official legal remedy and leads to a complete review of the assessment — potentially to your disadvantage (reformatio in peius). A simple amendment under Section 172(1) No. 2a AO is an informal request for specific, clearly identifiable errors and cannot lead to a worse outcome.
Can the tax office change the assessment to my disadvantage through the appeal?
Yes, the appeal triggers a full review. The tax office can amend the assessment to your disadvantage (Section 367(2) AO). However, it must warn you beforehand, giving you the opportunity to withdraw the appeal.
Can I submit the appeal electronically?
Yes, the appeal can be filed in writing, electronically via ELSTER, or dictated to record at the tax office. ELSTER is particularly fast and the receipt is documented. An informal letter by post or fax is also sufficient.
