ELSTER Add-On for SAP Business One 2023

SAP Business One users will have to switch to the new ELSTER Rich Client (ERiC) version 37.2.6.0 from February 2023 in order to use the Advance turnover tax return 2023. To achieve this goal, a new iteration of the ELSTER add-on for SAP Business One 10.0 has been made available. The brand new ELSTER add-on for SAP Business One is now available for download.

The SAP Business One Elster Add-On

As a software manufacturer, SAP is responsible for delivering the Elster add-on to its customers as standard. This enables the proper processing of advance VAT returns. Compliance with this procedure has the advantage, among other things, that legal certainty is guaranteed by certificates that are always up to date.

The installation and configuration runs smoothly, and country-specific allocation rules or messages can also be taken into account and shown accordingly. Afterwards, the calculation of VAT is carried out across the board for each item and for each transaction automatically.

An SAP Business user can create the Elster advance VAT return electronically (either monthly or quarterly) and at the same time print and file the VAT report for their records.

Use nine ELSTER version immediately

The Elster authority has made available version ERiC 37.2.6.0, which contains the revisions for implementation for the year 2023. Companies that have to submit their advance VAT return for January 2023 in February 2023 must either use this ERiC version or new ELSTER add-on or a newer version. Alternatively, one can use only the tax report and enter the data manually into the transferred Elster portal if the tax report is not available.

Tax offices throughout Germany participate in the initiative MAGPIE (ELectronic tax declaration). Via this service, which is available to all citizens as well as companies and employers, various tax returns, applications (e.g. for deadline extension, objection or change of address) and notices can be transmitted electronically to the competent tax authorities. The scope of the service is constantly being expanded and also regularly updated.

Before you use ELSTER for the electronic transmission of advance VAT returns, you must submit a participation declaration in paper form to the competent tax office in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Data Transmission Ordinance. The declaration of participation is available in PDF format as part of the ELSTER Integration add-on.
