Until now, the tax office was only allowed to publish your tax assessment digitally with your consent.

Otherwise, it had to send you a paper notification. This will soon change fundamentally, because
From 01.01.2026, electronic notification will become the norm!

If you have submitted your tax return electronically to the tax office, you will also be notified of your tax assessment electronically: via provision for data retrieval. Your consent is no longer required for this!

New: Objection instead of consent

If you want to continue receiving your tax assessment on paper, you must take action and explicitly request this from the tax office.

You need to act quickly here, because the objection is only effective for the future!

In your opinion, this is good and urgently needed digitization, but you know enough people who insist on paper? Then forward this post to them in good time.

At WSB, we are happy to help you keep track of everything and make sure you don't miss any deadlines.
