Elster certificate
After a user has been created successfully in the VAT@GTC, a certificate for electronic submitting of the VAT return [file type .pfx] can be assigned. It serves to identify and secure the electronic transmission of the tax data to the local tax office and can also be used for the online portal of the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt). The PIN query secures the electronic Elster certificate against unauthorised access.
Elster certificate can also be saved under [Master data: Home: My Profile].

From the VAT period 2011 onwards, the companies are obliged to submit their annual VAT declaration electronically according to § 18 (3) UStG (Value Added Tax Act). To send the VAT declaration using the VAT@GTC, the transmission must be authenticated by the ELSTER User certificate. The German fiscal authorities do not require the electronically authenticated transmission from certain companies. ELSTER certificates are issued by the financial administration and can be ordered online via the ElsterOnline portal. A written application is therefore no longer required. The certificate is issued as a software certificate, USB stick or signature card. |
