Backlog calculator: which years are still open?

You are several years behind with the e-Bilanz. Tick the financial years still open — the calculator estimates the late-filing surcharge under § 152 Abs. 5 AO for each one and adds up what waiting costs. We can file the financial years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.

A rough figure is enough. At 0 € the statutory minimum of 25 € per started month still applies.

Which financial years are still open? Deadline per financial year: 31 July of the following year in non-advised cases (§ 149 Abs. 2 AO). Advised cases have longer ones.

Non-binding estimate under § 152 AO based on your figures — not tax advice and not an assessment. The tax office sets the actual amount. eBilanz Fabrik is a technical tool for producing and transmitting the e-Bilanz.

You are catching up on the e-Bilanz. As a corporation, the disclosure is usually missing too.

The figure above covers the e-Bilanz under § 5b EStG only. Corporations must file the same annual accounts with the Unternehmensregister as well (§ 325 HGB); if that does not happen, the Bundesamt für Justiz opens a penalty procedure of its own motion, 2,500 to 25,000 € (§ 335 HGB). Both routes start here — year by year, one-off and without a subscription.

We transmit the e-Bilanz to the tax office via ERiC. For the disclosure you receive the XBRL file — you submit it to the Unternehmensregister yourself; that route is currently open to micro-entities (§ 267a HGB). All figures without warranty.
