# Anlage Bekanntgabe (Notification Attachment)

## Overview

The **Anlage Bekanntgabe (Notification attachment)** can be used to consent to the digital delivery of the trade tax assessment notice by the municipalities entitled to levy the tax. In the federal states that levy trade tax themselves (Berlin, Bremen, and Hamburg), the respective tax office is responsible for the tax assessment notice. No consent to the digital delivery of the trade tax assessment notice via the **Anlage Bekanntgabe** is therefore required in these cases.

If consent is given to receive the digital trade tax assessment notice, the tax authorities will transmit the company data obtained with the **Anlage Bekanntgabe** to the municipalities. The municipalities use this information to issue the trade tax assessment notice digitally.

> **Note:** You should use the **Anlage Bekanntgabe** only if your company meets the technical requirements to receive tax assessment notices electronically. A prerequisite is that a business account has been set up by the enterprise. Detailed information on the digital trade tax assessment notice and the business account can be found, for example, on the web site of the Hessian Ministry of Finance at [https://www.digitaler-gewerbesteuerbescheid.de/unternehmen](https://www.digitaler-gewerbesteuerbescheid.de/unternehmen).

## Navigation

The **Anlage Bekanntgabe** form is available in two workspaces under **Company | Current Taxes**:

- **Decomposition** workspace: The form is automatically activated here and cannot be deactivated. However, the **Bekanntgabe attachment** will be transmitted electronically to the tax office only if the form contains data.
- **Local tax** workspace: If **Anlage Bekanntgabe** is activated in the form configuration, the Bekanntgabe attachment is visible in the **Local tax** workspace and data can be entered.

The **Anlage Bekanntgabe** workspace is displayed, for example, as follows:
