Tax office in Germany - the tax office now monitors cash transfers
New tool for the tax office: How cash is now monitored – and what that means for you as an entrepreneur!
By TaxPro GmbH – with exclusive insider information
In Germany, the tax authorities are increasingly relying on intelligent software that automatically monitors and analyzes cash transactions – with the aim of detecting tax evasion in cash-intensive industries such as gastronomy, hairdressing or retail. Here are three key insider facts about what the new tool can do and how you can protect yourself effectively.
1️⃣ What can the new software do?
- Automatic anomaly detection: The software evaluates cash register journals (e.g. from TSE-secured cash registers) – including technical security equipment and receipt data – in order to filter
out discrepancies (suspected zapper, gaps in the daily journal) - Source and data interfaces: In addition, information from bank data, social security, external authorities, other tax offices and even anonymous tips is included – and is firmly compared with the company's own sales.
- Risk warnings and prioritization: If the AI detects anomalies, it marks the process for more intensive testing or tax audits and, if necessary, triggers secret tests (mystery purchases, covert checks).

2️⃣ How do the tax offices use the software?
- Preliminary check of digital cash registers: Even when a tax audit is ordered, the software pulls the TSE data, analyzes sales, receipt issues and receipt numbers as well as anomalies such as missing receipts or interrupted signature chains
- Cross-comparisons with external data: Account receipts or health insurance data that do not match the reported sales are automatically reported as suspicious factors
- Targeted covert checks: In marked cases, the tax office carries out covert test purchases or on-site checks to check whether the POS system has been
manipulated de.wikipedia.org. - Data provision & interface compulsion: Operators of electronic cash registers must provide
the data (DSFinV-K export, TSE log, receipt data) via a prescribed interface from 2025
⃣ What does this mean for affected entrepreneurs? 3️
- High documentation pressure: Every cash turnover must be precisely documented – individual records, TSE, receipt obligation and receipt archive must be
complete - Missing documents = risk: Missing cash register data, suspicious sales without a receipt or gaps in the journal are very likely to lead to estimates – usually according to industry benchmarks (e.g. gross profit mark-up).
- Zapper software in focus: Every discovery of cash register data manipulation by Zapper software inevitably leads to an estimated sales assessment
- Appeal is worthwhile – but right: You can defend yourself – with loyalty to the system, objection, conclusive documentation and, if necessary, support from legal documents such as PepperPapers
🛡️ Your defense strategy – three concrete steps
StepActionWhy important1️⃣ | Backing up TSE and receipt data | Export cash journals and receipts regularly (DSFinV-K), archive them clearly
2️⃣ | Optimal cash management | Pay attention to daily counting protocol, clear receipt issuance (receipt obligation since 2020) and complete documentation
3️⃣ | Preparing an appeal | Use sample objections against the estimate (burden of proof, zapper defense), contact the audit order
