Obtaining authorizations for the transmission/collection of ELSTER transfer procedures

Once you have successfully logged in with your authority's organizational account, you can call up the application forms for data exchange with the tax administration. There you can select the menu item "Data exchange with the administration" under "Forms and services".

A procedure involves certain types of data, the content and structure of which is agreed between the two data exchange partners. For example, the data collection of property tax information is a separate procedure, as is trade tax. Please note that you are not authorized to use all of the 70 or so procedures available. The ELSTER partner in your federal state will therefore check whether you are authorized to participate in the respective data exchange procedure once your application has been accepted. In order for you to be able to transfer data, your authority or the HKR manufacturers you have entrusted with this must be activated for data exchange by ELSTER.

The forms for "Data exchange with the tax authorities" can be found in "My ELSTER" in the "Forms & services" section.
