Goal

Transmission of reporting values for monthly/quarterly VAT returns (German: “Umsatzsteuer- Voranmeldungen”) from a web based application to the German fiscal authorities through the ELSTER interface using official ERiC libraries.

The individually tailored software (hereinafter: „solution”) should be virtualized platform-independent runnable with the help of Docker technology. The to-be-transmitted reporting values should be accepted by the solution with the usage of REST-API endpoints.

The individual steps of each transmission process are to be logged in a MySQL database and further information (in particular the success/failure of the transmission, or error message if provided) is to be returned by the solution. The transmission protocols (German: “Übertragungsprotokolle”) should get uploaded to a S3-compatible bucket. The transmission protocol should be made available to end users.
