Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, this release adds support for the 2025 assessment period to the Tax Return sub-module. All official forms for corporate income tax, trade tax, apportionment, and separate assessment returns have been brought up to date.

Validation and data transmission are now handled by the new Tax Transfer Hub module with a four-stage approval process.

Numerous lines have been added to the corporate income tax forms, including:

  • in annex GK, for the Tax Haven Defense Act as well as the foreign identification number for hidden profit distributions
  • in annex Zinsschranke (interest barrier)
  • in annexes OT, OG, and WA

The license barrier under Section 4j EStG and the COVID-19 queries have been removed. In annex KSt 1 F, a new internal correction line (29.1/29.2) ensures a valid transmission of the indirect tax group.

The trade tax forms now include individual details on donation recipients, a new query on real property tax as a business expense, and the contribution under Section 24 UmwStG.

A new apportionment type for energy storage facilities under Section 29 (1) no. 3 GewStG is now available.

The separate assessment forms have been fully switched to an income-type-based layout. The annexes FE-G, FE-KAP, FE-V, FE-SO, and others replace the previous annexes FE-1 to FE-6.

Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features:

As of this release, Lucanet provides the latest ERiC version 43.1, enabling submissions for existing assessment periods after the minimum version has been increased (expected end of April 2026). In addition, the registration for KapEStA (capital gains tax) for the 2026 assessment period is now available.

As of release 251015, Lucanet introduced the submission option via Tax Transfer Hub instead of Transfer Client. With the implementation of the latest ERiC version, transmission via Tax Transfer Hub is now mandatory, and transmission via Transfer Client is no longer available for the Tax Return sub-module.
