# Tax Services

**Tax Services** is the module of the **Tax Compliance & Reporting** solution for creating, editing, and transmitting tax forms to German tax authorities. The module helps you fulfill your tax reporting obligations efficiently and without errors.

With Tax Services, you can:

- Create tax forms based on predefined dialog templates
- Enter, edit, and validate form data
- Control the processing progress through defined process steps
- Generate forms in XML format and transmit them to the tax authorities via ELSTER

**Tax Services** supplements the **Tax Return, Tax Balance** and **VAT** modules with forms that are not tied to a specific tax type but still arise regularly. 

These include forms for:
- Changes to bank details (Änderungen von Bankverbindungen)
- Changes to business addresses (Änderungen von Geschäftsanschriften)
- Subsequent submission of documents (Belegnachreichungen)

By connecting to Tax Administration, flexible authorization concepts, and review processes, Tax Services reduces manual effort and increases process reliability, particularly when managing multiple units.
