The date to declare your taxes is approaching, and more and more people are choosing to declare digitally.
There are several benefits to declaring digitally:

- the tax is calculated automatically

Useful Tips
Tip 1 Register your bank account – only then will the tax refund be paid out automatically.
Tip 2 Keep an eye on the deductions – if you have sold a home, securities or traveled a lot for work, it is worth focusing a little extra on the deductions. Renovation expenses and other costs connected to selling a home are important deductions you should not miss.
