With the introduction of the flat withholding tax lawmakers have combined the exemption amount and income tax deductible expenses into the flat sum for savers. The maximum amount for singles is EUR 801 and the maximum amount for married couples filing jointly is EUR 1602.

The system includes the tax exemptions entered for the business partner when it calculates the flat withholding tax. This is done to reduce the taxable revenue. A business partner can have more than one tax exemption document, for example, an exemption application and a non-assessment certificate. You assign the tax exemption documents to the business assets or private assets of a business partner.

You can restrict the tax exemption documents to selected accounts. You can keep an account list for each tax exemption document pertaining to business assets. The system supplies historical data storage of tax exemption document including account lists.

Processing of exemption amounts

Processing depends on the type of turnover:

  • Revenues

    The system calculates the amount that remains after the calculation of loss compensation according to the rules for capital yield tax.

  • Losses

    The exemption application is restored after the system has performed the recalculation of withheld taxes. The system recreates used exemption amounts up to the maximum amount defined for the taxpayer.

Processing of non-assessment certificates

A non-assessment certificate means that either the entire revenue, or a share thereof, is not subject to taxation.

The following principles are valid for processing:

  • The system processes the tax amount based on the taxable amount and the relevant, reduced tax rate.

  • The system creates netting totals in the case of loss revenue. If there is revenue, the netting totals are used. For more information, see Loss Compensation.

  • The foreign withholding tax reported for revenue creates the respective netting total. When the non-assessment certificate is no longer valid, the netting total for foreign withholding tax is used.

  • In the case of loss revenue, tax is only recalculated if a non-assessment certificate did not previously exist.
