To avoid procedural errors and save time, you can therefore issue a power of attorney for tax advisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">We explain when a power of attorney is worthwhile, what content and authorisations it includes and also, how you can revoke the power of attorney for the tax advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-power-of-attorney-for-tax-advisors\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">What is a power of attorney for tax advisors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">Even when you work hard to do your bookkeeping right, complete all documentation and digital document management, tax issues can cause uncertainty. Have you thought of everything in your tax return? Have you taken advantage of all tax benefits and fulfilled your tax obligations? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">It is totally fine to handle your bookkeeping and tax issues by yourself. But it&#8217;s also possible to work with a tax advisor if you have doubts or don&#8217;t have enough time for tax matters alongside your day-to-day business. In that case, you have the possibility of giving the<strong> power of attorney<\/strong> to your tax advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">A power of attorney authorises your tax advisor to represent you in tax matters vis-\u00e0-vis the Finanzamt (tax office). The power of attorney covers all tax-related activities that are within the scope of the power of attorney or have been expressly agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-types-of-powers-of-attorney-for-tax-advisors-are-there\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">What types of powers of attorney for tax advisors are there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">In general, a distinction can be made between the <strong>Verfahrensvollmacht<\/strong> (power of attorney for proceedings) and the <strong>Bekanntgabevollmacht<\/strong> (power of attorney for disclosure):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table acct-table overflow-x-auto md:overflow-x-visible mt-14 pt-8\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Verfahrensvollmacht<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Bekanntgabevollmacht<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Authorised tax advisors are permitted to take all tax-related actions required for tax matters on your behalf.<\/td><td>Authorised tax advisors can receive tax-related notices and administrative files from the Finanzamt (tax office) on your behalf.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">As a rule, it is advisable to issue both the power of attorney for proceedings and the power of attorney for disclosure. Please note that the power of attorney for disclosure is not automatically part of a power of attorney for tax advisors and must be issued separately. This also applies to powers of attorney for debt collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-actions-does-a-tax-power-of-attorney-cover\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">What actions does a tax power of attorney cover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">The actions and matters covered by a power of attorney depend on whether you issue it in an <strong>unrestricted or restricted form<\/strong>. An unrestricted power of attorney has the following powers of action and decision-making:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"representation-towards-the-finanzamt-tax-office\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">Representation towards the Finanzamt (tax office)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">The authorised representative is entitled to take the following actions as your representative when in contact with the Finanzamt (tax office):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-disc list-outside ml-0 mb-4 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Submitting and receiving declarations of any kind on your behalf (e.g. <a class=\"font-inter text-purple underline underline-offset-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/income-tax-with-accountable\/\">income tax return<\/a>, <a class=\"font-inter text-purple underline underline-offset-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accountable.de\/en\/free-tax-resources\/\">VAT return<\/a> or<a class=\"font-inter text-purple underline underline-offset-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/trade-license-germany\/\"> trade tax<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Filing applications in main and follow-up tax proceedings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Representation in the context of tax audits or cash register inspections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Filing or withdrawal of out-of-court legal remedies (e.g. appeals) or waiver of rights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Out-of-court negotiations of any kind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Submission of tax returns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"data-access\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">Data access <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">Other authorisations include data retrieval, data access and file inspection in connection with tax-relevant data. This includes access to your tax account, the pre-filled tax return, the VAT return and tax data filed with the Finanzamt. If it is relevant to tax matters, the tax advisor can also inspect your bank documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1<strong>Tip from Accountable:<\/strong> Do you want in contrast to retain full control over your personal tax matters?

The main reasons include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-disc list-outside ml-0 mb-4 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">You want to save time and effort, leave tax issues to experts and concentrate on your core freelance work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">You want tax-related activities such as tax returns or VAT returns to be correct and complete<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">You want to utilise potential tax savings and try to optimise your tax returns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">You want to make it easier for your tax advisor to access your tax information or represent you in cases with the Finanzamt or in the event of tax audits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Incidentally, you can also issue a power of attorney for your tax advisor vis-\u00e0-vis your health insurance company if you want to reduce bureaucratic effort and avoid errors here, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1<strong>Tip from Accountable:<\/strong> Please note that even with an authorised representative, you are still responsible for the content and accuracy of your tax return and tax declarations! So even when working with a tax advisor it&#8217;s advisable to keep track of your bookkeeping and tax returns yourself. Software like <a class=\"font-inter text-purple underline underline-offset-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accountable.de\/en\/\">Accountable<\/a> can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"power-of-attorney-for-tax-advisors-free-samples-online\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">Power of attorney for tax advisors: free samples online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">To issue a power of attorney, you can use online templates for power of attorney. This will ensure that you fulfil the legal requirements in terms of form and content. Written proof of authorisation may be required if the Finanzamt has reasonable doubts about representation by tax advisors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">You can usually find free samples and templates for power of attorney declarations on the online platforms of your Finanzamt office in your respective region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure your written power of attorney contains the following details: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-disc list-outside ml-0 mb-4 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\"><strong>Form:<\/strong> In accordance with \u00a7 167 Abs. 2 BGB, no specific form is required for the granting of a power of attorney. It can be made in writing or verbally. However, in order to protect yourself in legal matters, it is always advisable to use a written form and official power of attorney templates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\"><strong>Content:<\/strong> The power of attorney must clearly state to whom the power of attorney is granted, for which unrestricted or restricted powers of action and to whom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\"><strong>Proof:<\/strong> From the perspective of authorised tax advisors, it is advisable to insist on a written power of attorney in order to be able to prove the power of representation. Without proof, authorised representatives are considered to be representatives without power of representation, which can lead to claims for performance or damages in the event of legal disputes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\"><strong>Transmission:<\/strong> Authorisations can be transmitted to the Finanzamt both in writing and electronically in accordance with \u00a7 80a AO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1<strong>Tip from Accountable:<\/strong> If you also want to authorise your tax advisor to <strong>receive the official tax assessments<\/strong> by your Finanzamt, a separate power of attorney is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"authorise-a-tax-consultant-via-the-power-of-attorney-database\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">Authorise a tax consultant via the power of attorney database<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">The Vollmachtsdatenbank (power of attorney database) is an online platform of the Bundessteuerberaterkammer (federal chamber of tax advisors), which tax advisors use to electronically record, transmit and manage sample powers of attorney issued to tax authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">The use of unchanged official templates for a power of attorney is mandatory in writing via the Vollmachtsdatenbank. You are therefore not permitted to make any changes to templates. In any case, the modern transmission procedure makes it easier for authorised representatives to issue powers of attorney and protects both parties against the tax authorities in case of doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"revoke-authorisation-for-your-tax-advisor\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">Revoke authorisation for your tax advisor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">If you wish to revoke your tax advisor&#8217;s power of attorney, you can do so informally, either verbally or in writing. As a general rule, you should always use a written cancellation to revoke a power of attorney for tax advisors for evidentiary purposes. Incidentally, a granted <strong>power of attorney does not expire automatically<\/strong>, so an explicit revocation or cancellation is always required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">You can find templates for revoking your power of attorney to tax advisors on the online platforms of your state government, as well as the templates for issuing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"issue-a-power-of-attorney-best-practices\" class=\"wp-block-heading font-degular scroll-mt-32\">Issue a power of attorney: Best practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">To do everything right when granting a power of attorney, you can follow these best practices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-disc list-outside ml-0 mb-4 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Issue the power of attorney in writing using official templates to legally protect yourself and your authorised representatives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Revoke the power of attorney in writing to demonstrably revoke the authorisation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Explicitly formulate which powers of attorney the power of attorney includes (limited or unlimited)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Create a separate power of attorney if your tax advisor is also to receive tax assessments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"font-inter text-base text-black\">Keep a copy of power of attorney declarations and revocations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1If working with a tax advisor is too costly or inconvenient for you, you can use tax software such as <strong>Accountable<\/strong>.
