Frequently Asked Questions

What types of messages can I send using ERIC.CLIENT?

With ERIC.CLIENT, you can submit all standard ELSTER-based reports to the tax authorities, such as tax returns or audit notifications. The key point is that the reports originate from your line-of-business system and are transmitted to the authorities securely and in a standardized format.

As soon as you submit a report, ERIC.CLIENT handles all the technical aspects: it checks the file, digitally signs it, encrypts it, and then sends it securely to the tax authorities. You don’t have to worry about the ELSTER details.

The biggest advantage is that you can send messages reliably and without much technical effort. The integration is streamlined, requires no complex infrastructure, and allows for the automated processing of both individual messages and large volumes.

Yes. You will receive feedback, such as acknowledgments or error messages, directly through ERIC.CLIENT. You can forward this information to your system for further processing, such as error correction or documentation.

Before a message is sent, ERIC.CLIENT performs a technical check to ensure it is complete and properly formatted. If something is incorrect, the message will not be sent, and you will receive clear instructions on what needs to be corrected.
