<\/div>\nThe first thing you need to do is select which figures you want to use to calculate your taxes. As a rule, the default settings will be selected here. We recommend extrapolation because the calculation is most accurate here. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\u2757\ufe0fIf you are active as a self-employed person with a side business, you will need to specify whether this is your primary or secondary activity and adjust the number of days accordingly.<\/p>\n
\nAdjust income tax prepayments<\/h1>\n
The purpose of income tax prepayments is to pay 100% of your tax in advance to get a tax bonus (or avoid a fine, depending on how you look at it).<\/p>\n
\n
You can pay progressively in 4 installments of 25%, or make a larger first installment in the first quarter.<\/p>\n
\n
Installments are only optional for the first 3 years of your self-employed activity.<\/p>\n

Via email<\/b><\/h2>\n
You can also just forward your existing invoices and receipts directly via email.<\/p>\n
Just send your revenue to revenue@accountable.eu<\/a><\/b> and your expenses to expenses@accountable.eu<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n
