Pension Tax Guide retires: extensive knowledge transfer for new projects
In May 2021, the tax guide for pensions went online as our first digital product. It enables pensioners subject to income tax to submit their tax return easily, quickly and digitally. This target group has so far been rather reluctant to use digital services. The web-based service takes into account their needs, knowledge and usage behavior and thus enables digital participation.
With this project developed for the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF), we were able to realize our mission as an in-house software development unit for the federal government for the first time. After two assessment periods, Steuerlotse is now being retired to avoid duplication with einfachELSTER. However, the valuable work carried out will not be lost.
