I am a car dealer myself, and the software is genuinely foolproof. It is perfect even for someone with no previous accounting experience and is very easy to use.
I can only recommend the platform. The team behind it is excellent too: rather than having AI answer your questions, they take the time to meet with you personally and explain everything step by step.

Write a ReviewFAQ: §25a, EU, Export & DATEV
Concise guidance for quick orientation. This is not tax or legal advice.
What is the §25a VAT margin scheme for vehicle sales?
§25a UStG (German VAT Act) governs the VAT margin scheme for certain used goods, including used vehicles. VAT is calculated on the dealer's margin rather than the full sale price. Specific cases require professional tax or legal advice. Find more information about §25a UStG in our blog.
Which tax treatments does Autaxo support?
Autaxo supports all standard dealership tax treatments, particularly the VAT margin scheme under §25a, standard taxation, intra-Community transactions in the EU and EEA, and export supplies. Its intelligent workflow includes guidance and documentation requirements.
How does the Carlo AI assistant help in practice?
Carlo runs in-workflow plausibility checks for common EU, export, and §25a pitfalls, then provides contextual guidance before errors reach documents or accounting records.
How does the DATEV handoff work?
The standard method is DATEV Buchungsdatenservice: accounting entries and receipt images are transferred directly to your tax firm's DATEV environment without sending CSV files. A traditional DATEV EXTF export is also available as a CSV file for SKR03, SKR04, and SKR51.
How quickly can I add a vehicle?
Vehicle capture typically starts with a scan or VIN. Master data is imported automatically, creating the vehicle record faster and more consistently.
Who is Autaxo designed for?
Autaxo is for car dealers who want to combine vehicle records, documents, tax logic, and accounting in one system. It is especially useful for §25a VAT margin scheme, EU, and export transactions.
