How it works
Three steps from property details to an ELSTER-ready report
No tax jargon to learn. No German to decode. A wizard that asks the right questions, in your language.
- 01
Describe the property
Address, acquisition date, purchase price, building share, loan interest, works done. 3 minutes.
- 02
We compute AfA, 15% test, WEG — everything
AfA under EStG §7 (2 %, 2.5 %, 3 %). Pro-rated first year. 15% test on post-acquisition works. WEG reserve vs. actual spend. All checked.
- 03
Download your ELSTER preparation report
Line-by-line Zeile mapping · every figure sourced to your inputs · step-by-step ELSTER submission guide in your language.
Why €79, and not €800?
Same rules. Same forms. Fewer middlemen.
Software, not a tax advisor. No office, no secretary, no overhead passed to you. The Anlage V rules are the same for everyone — coded once. You get the same figures a Steuerberater would write, without the Steuerberater.
Do nothing
Penalty
Late-filing fee: up to 10% of unpaid tax, max €25 000. Compound with the years you skip.
Steuerberater
€300 – €800 / year
Most refuse simple non-resident landlord cases. Always German only. Slow email cadence.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is Anlage V Easy built for?
Non-resident landlords: you live outside Germany and rent out one or two residential properties in Germany (Wohnungen, long-term, unfurnished or furnished). If you are a German tax resident, have multiple properties, or run short-term rentals (Ferienwohnung, Airbnb), the eligibility check will route you elsewhere.
Does Anlage V Easy submit the Anlage V directly to ELSTER?
No. We generate an ELSTER preparation report with every value mapped to the correct Zeile. You copy the values into ELSTER yourself with our step-by-step guide. You keep full control of your submission and never hand over your ELSTER certificate.
I'm a non-resident landlord. Is beschränkte Steuerpflicht supported?
Yes — that is the core use case. The wizard assumes beschränkte Steuerpflicht (§49 EStG) by default and maps your figures for the correct lines of Anlage V. Your residence country and any DBA treatment stays your responsibility; the report is designed as an input to your final filing.
What if I have multiple properties or shared ownership?
The MVP covers sole-owned, single-property cases. If you have 2+ properties or shared ownership, the eligibility check will flag your case as post-MVP and invite you to join the waitlist. We will not let you through with a case we haven't validated.
What about previous tax years I haven't filed?
Anlage V Easy supports tax year 2025. Previous years (2023, 2024) will reopen as calibrated modules after the 2025 season closes. You can file up to four previous years in Germany (Festsetzungsverjährung), but each year has slightly different forms and we release them deliberately.
Is my data safe?
Your data is stored encrypted on an EU-hosted PostgreSQL. We do not collect ELSTER credentials. You can request deletion at any time; paid declarations are retained for the German fiscal record-keeping period so you can download them again if the Finanzamt asks.
What happens if I realise I missed an expense?
You can re-enter the wizard and regenerate the report. There is no extra charge for re-running the engine for the same tax year — the €79 covers the full declaration, not a single export.
What is included in the €79?
The ELSTER preparation report (line-by-line Zeile mapping), the AfA depreciation engine under §7 EStG, the 15 % test for post-acquisition works (§6 Abs. 1 Nr. 1a EStG), WEG / Hausgeld handling per §9 EStG, and the step-by-step ELSTER submission guide — in English, French or German. One-time. No subscription.
Your Anlage V, done in 10 minutes — not 15 emails with a Steuerberater.
Start the wizard, pay only when you download the ELSTER preparation report. No subscription. No lock-in.
