How Autaxo’s Accounting Logic Works

Five steps to accounting data that is accurate and ready to post.

01

Automatic Tax Rate Detection

Autaxo automatically identifies the correct VAT rate based on the transaction, whether domestic, within the EU, or with a non-EU country. Incorrect tax codes are eliminated.

02

Consistent Audit Trail

Purchases, sales, and credit notes are linked logically. Changes automatically update every related accounting entry, keeping your audit trail complete and ready for inspection.

03

Standardized Accounting Logic

Our logic is independent of the chart of accounts. For special cases, debtor and creditor numbers and DATEV accounts can be overridden, and each dealership can configure its booking text.

04

Accounting Exports with Receipts

DATEV Booking Data Service sends accounting entries and receipt images directly to your tax firm. For Stotax, Agenda FIBU, and ADDISON, download the accounting batch in DATEV format together with receipt images and the cash book as ZIP. CSV alone is also available.

05

Built-In Validation Rules

The system checks whether transactions are consistent for tax purposes, including Section 25a margin-scheme cases and VAT-exempt exports. Errors are caught before they reach accounting.

Common Accounting Cases in the Vehicle Trade

These transitions between sale, supporting evidence, receipt, and export matter more than a generic claim of DATEV compatibility.

Section 25a Sale

Vehicles subject to the margin scheme require different logic from regular VAT sales. Autaxo classifies the case early so the invoice, export, and vehicle trade register remain consistent.

EU Sale with Supporting Documents

For intra-Community supplies, the VAT ID, supporting documents, and VAT-exempt treatment must align. Otherwise, the transaction can fail during an audit or trigger questions from your tax firm.

Third-Country Chain Transaction

For non-taxable sales in chain transactions involving a third country, the invoice wording and DATEV mapping are stored directly in the tax case.

Monthly Closing Without Receipt Chaos

Instead of document transfer folders or loose CSV files, accounting data, receipt images, and notes stay bundled by transaction and ready to export.

Frequently Asked Questions About Accounting

Does Autaxo support different charts of accounts?

Autaxo uses its own standardized accounting logic. It works independently of the chart of accounts and can be mapped to SKR03, SKR04, or SKR51 for automotive businesses during export. This greatly reduces reconciliation work with your tax advisor.

Can I configure my own accounting parameters?

Yes. You can choose between balance-sheet accounting and EÜR cash-basis accounting under Section 4(3) EStG. You can also configure general-ledger account length and accrual or cash VAT accounting.

Is there access for tax advisors?

Yes. Tax advisors can receive a free observer account to review receipts and export monthly closings in DATEV format themselves.

How does the DATEV transfer work?

The standard method is DATEV Booking Data Service. Journal entries, including receipt images, are sent directly to your tax firm’s DATEV environment without emailing CSV files or importing data manually. Setup takes only minutes with your advisor and client numbers. A traditional EXTF export as a CSV file that follows DATEV specifications is also available.

What if my tax firm does not use DATEV?

Choose Stotax, Agenda, or ADDISON as the transfer method in Autaxo. Download a ZIP file containing the accounting batch in DATEV format, your receipt images as PDF and photo, and your cash book including self-issued receipts. Your tax firm imports the files into Stotax, Agenda FIBU, or ADDISON. If only the accounting entries are needed, you can also download the CSV file alone. For any other software, you get the accounting batch in DATEV format as a CSV file; check the import options with your tax firm.

What is the difference between CSV and ZIP exports?

The CSV file contains the accounting batch in DATEV format. The ZIP download bundles that accounting batch with your receipt images as PDF and photo, plus your cash book including self-issued receipts, ready for your tax firm to import. Choose CSV alone when only the accounting entries are needed, or ZIP when the receipts should be included.

Does Autaxo support third-country chain transactions?

Yes. For non-taxable sales in chain transactions involving a third country, Autaxo stores the corresponding invoice wording and DATEV mapping directly with the transaction.

Can I adjust DATEV mappings manually when needed?

Yes. You can override debtor and creditor numbers and DATEV accounts. Each dealership can also configure the booking-text order, and manual cash-book entries are included in the export.
