I have been using Sorted for over 5 years, it was great initially, but now there are old limits and old rules since 2024. The software is not up to date with latest tax law and I have to double check... See more

Yes! German Tax Law made WAY easier.

Does everything that it says on the tin. I use Sorted throughout the year to send my invoices and when the time comes to send over my tax return it literally takes me no more than 10 minutes! What a relief.

The customer service is also very helpful with advice on german tax law.

Incredible tool, responsive support staff <3

Just had an incredible experience with Mariana after i had a very unfortunate autofill error in my tax return. Quite a big mistake to make but Sorted were very responsive and helpful.

In general I find Sorted a great tool for doing my taxes, keeping track of expenses, and cutting some of the stress out of German bureaucracy. Thank you.

Submitted a question about my account on Sorted's customer service form about my tax registration form. Recieved help from Mariana from deel, and was provided accurate and informative help and within minutes the representative checked my form and sent me a screenshot clarification to me. Very impressed with the speed and accuracy of their customer service.

I love Sorted

I love Sorted, it makes taxes easy and stressfree. I've been using it since 2020 and it's always been a pleasure. Customer care is always ready to lend a hand too, so it's nice to know there are real people behind the project and if any problems arise, they'll respond. Israel really helped me today :) Thanks!

It seems really easy to use but I had so many problems with the Finanzamt because of the way sorted functions. When because of sending a form I'm not obligated to send, Finanzamt send me warnings that sorted advised me to not send it, so long story short, I got a fine now. I apparently registered wrongly (sorted took care of that). If you are a Kleinunternehmer, don't use it. I'm hiring accountants and tax consultants now to get me out of this and it's incredibly complicated. I'm not saying it's thier fault, German laws have a great chunk in that but what I saying is, if something goes wrong, it might be their fault and they can't help you

Hello Petra,

We are very sorry to hear about the trouble with the Finanzamt and would like to help you as much as possible and that is why we have reached out to you privately.
The issue arose because you were asked to file ZM reports by the local Finanzamt, but Kleinunternehmers do not have to submit ZM reports. Our partner tax advisors have successfully handled similar cases, proving that Kleinunternehmers are exempt from submitting ZM reports. If you were not able to convince the Finanzamt on your own and are facing fines, we recommend considering a tax advisor through Deel (since we don’t have tax advisors on Sorted at the moment). They can help argue your case with the local Finanzamt.

We look forward to discussing this matter in more detail via email.

Regards,
Sorted team

Great product for freelancing in Germany: invoices and tax returns

Great and simple product. Perfect for my needs as freelancer in Germany. I can easily invoice clients and have all the in-product guidance needed to submit tax reports. And the customer service is amazing: went the extra mile to support my initial registration 6 months ago and is still always active and responsive now.

A good program with a sketchy subscription...

A good program. It does help you navigate through the oxidised complicated German tax bureaucracy. It also lures you offering you a monthly subscription that you can only pay quarterly 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻, getting a thin margin of cheaper compared to what you´d pay yearly, so you are forced to choose between 12 months or 4 months. Why they call that a monthly subscription? Whatever!
Apart from that, yeah, a good product.

Hello,

We are glad that the platform is helping you navigate the German tax systems.

We appreciate you getting back to us and pointing out the differences in our subscriptions. We do offer the Pro version, which is paid for every 3 months. This is to enable our users and great customers like you not to have to miss the monthly or quarterly reports because of the subscription.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

I really enjoyed the customer support today. They answered very quickly after my first question. Then, I was about to clarify my issue further but they have realized what the problem was sooner and got back to me even before I told them more details. That doesn’t happen every day 😊 Thank you!

the cheaper plan does not do online submissions, what a complete con

the wording on the price plans is very misleading now, in short it seems you can't submit anything useful without the pro plan. I used to do the quarterly or monthly VAT returns with Elster and it only took a few minutes. Now I'm expected to pay 240 Euros for this privelege! So I've just been fleeced for 100 Euros to to sign up to the Kleinunternehmer plan only to find that it won't do anything useful for me... so I have to upgrade again and pay 240 Euros simply to send the most basic reports. Utterly useless and way overpriced if you don't have any complex bookeeping. The customer support also seems to have gone, so there is no one to speak to. Only bots and the promise of an email reply with 3 days. I strongly advise people to look around for alternatives before hitting that subscribe button, there is no undo function.. once you pay that is it for the next 12 months!

Hi John,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely regret any frustration you may have encountered and appreciate your candid feedback.

We recognize the importance of clear and transparent pricing and apologize for any confusion caused by the information on our website. We reached out to you to gain a better understanding of the source of the confusion. It appears there might have been a misinterpretation of the German version of our pricing page. That is why we offer an English version of our website, ensuring you can navigate in the language you are most comfortable with.

We also took note of your questions regarding the Kleinunternehmer plan and have provided additional details to offer a clearer understanding on whom this subscription is best suitable for.

We have refunded the fee for the Kleinunternehmer plan that was purchased in error. We hope this helps to rectify any inconvenience caused.

If you have further questions or concerns, we encourage you to continue the conversation via the email thread that we have. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are committed to ensuring a positive experience for our users.
