About Restio

Why Restio exists.

Nobody enjoys looking at German taxes — and yet they affect everyone. Restio is meant to be your calm, clear companion: all year round, with the right answers at the right time. Not another chatbot, but a specialist that actually knows German tax law — with paragraph, deadline, and number.

What Restio does

More than a calculator.

Restio is with you all year — from the first receipt to the finished tax package.

📸

Scan a receipt, save tax

Photo a receipt — Restio reads the amount, vendor, date and category, tells you instantly whether and how much is deductible, and for larger purchases spreads the depreciation (AfA) over the right years.

§

Tax answers with paragraph, deadline, number

Ask any tax question and get an answer based on your tax class, your state, and your situation — not generic, but with the exact paragraph and the concrete number.

✉️

Letters from the Finanzamt, explained

Photo the letter — Restio tells you in plain language what it says, which kind of assessment it is, which deadline is running, and what to do.

🛡️

Early warnings for thresholds & deadlines

Kleinunternehmer §19, the Werbungskosten flat rate, the home-office cap, appeal deadlines: Restio reaches out before you cross a limit or miss a deadline — year-round, not just in March.

🧭

Guided paths for every topic

About 44 recognizable tax topics — from parental leave to the Kleinunternehmer threshold to a big purchase decision. Each with a clear flow: which question first, which rule applies, which number decides.

🏦

Import a bank statement

Upload a PDF of your bank statement — Restio recognizes and categorizes every transaction in one pass. You only confirm the uncertain cases.

👫

Joint filing

Married? Combine both profiles — Restio considers both incomes and calculates Ehegattensplitting correctly.

📦

Export your tax package

At year-end, a clean package: EÜR dossier, ELSTER summary, or a SKR03 CSV for your tax advisor — all in one tap.
