Is Lohnsteuer kompakt the official programme of the tax office?

No! You can find the official ELSTER software on the tax administration portal.

However, Lohnsteuer kompakt has full ELSTER functionality integrated and offers significant advantages that save you a lot of time and money. After all, tax offices have no interest in helping you save on taxes.

As a genuine internet application, Lohnsteuer kompakt also spares you the frustrating work with official tax forms and the annual hassle of purchasing, licensing, installing, registering, updating, and repairing typical tax software on CD or DVD.

The internet application Lohnsteuer kompakt is developed by forium GmbH, based in Berlin, and operated on servers in modern high-security data centres in Germany. forium GmbH is independent and a leading provider of financial information on the internet.
