Questions on German bookkeeping and record retention. Every answer with its source.

Kompass answers questions on the GoBD, § 147 AO and § 257 HGB from the original text only. Every statement names its source, one click shows the passage. If the sources don't cover it, Kompass says so: better no answer than a guessed one.

Answers are in German, because the sources are German law and are quoted word for word.

How it works
  1. Ask a question

    In your own words, e.g.: may I bin receipts after scanning them?

  2. Find the passages

    Kompass searches the matching passages in the GoBD, § 147 AO and § 257 HGB.

  3. Answer with sources

    Every statement names its source. If the sources have none, there is no answer.
