DATEV is a widely used accounting, tax and bookkeeping system in Germany. It’s commonly used by tax advisors (Steuerberater) and their clients to manage financial records and prepare statutory filings.
While many businesses and tax advisors use DATEV, using DATEV itself is not mandatory for operating a business in Germany.
This article explains how ROLLER fits into DATEV-based workflows and where responsibility sits between ROLLER, venues and their advisors.
ROLLER’s role
ROLLER is responsible for:
- Recording a venue’s financial transactions and tax associated with those transactions in the platform.
- Ensuring the integrity and consistency of financial data it produces.
- Providing reports and exports standard formats that venues can use for use in financial accounting and share with their Steuerberater.
A venue and tax advisor’s role
Which ROLLER data is used within DATEV, and how, depends on:
- The venue or tax agent’s preferred financial workflows.
- Which DATEV modules are in use.
As a result, decisions about how to format exported data and importing that data into DATEV is the responsibility of the venue and their tax advisor.
