DATEV export — one click to your tax advisor.
Does your tax advisor work with DATEV? Perfect. Rentprime exports your income and expenses as a DATEV-compatible booking file — cleanly posted, ready to import. No shoebox, no Excel fiddling.
No more receipt shoebox
Same drill once a year: sorting receipts, typing up lists, lugging everything to the tax advisor. Rentprime records your bookings all year anyway — and outputs them as a DATEV booking batch at the push of a button. This is what the file your tax advisor receives looks like:
| Date | Debit | Credit | Posting text | Amount € |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03.01 | 8105 | 1200 | Rental income Lindenstr. 4 | 1.250,00 |
| 07.01 | 4260 | 1200 | Heating maintenance | -189,00 |
| 12.01 | 4210 | 1200 | Property tax Q1 | -142,50 |
| 15.01 | 8105 | 1200 | Rental income Gartenweg 11 | -980,00 |
| 22.01 | 4360 | 1200 | Building insurance | -58,40 |
The export follows the DATEV booking-batch format that any DATEV firm can import directly — including debit/credit accounts per the standard chart of accounts SKR 03 or SKR 04. If your tax advisor doesn't use DATEV, Rentprime also delivers the same data set as a generic CSV that any accounting software imports.
Make your tax advisor happy
Clean, import-ready accounting entries instead of loose receipts — that saves on firm fees and stress.
DATEV export for property letting — what's behind it
DATEV ist das mit Abstand verbreitetste Software-Ökosystem deutscher Steuerberater. Wenn du als Vermieter deine Einnahmen-Überschuss-Rechnung oder Steuererklärung durch einen Steuerberater erstellen lässt, arbeitet dieser fast sicher mit DATEV. Ein DATEV-kompatibler Export spart dort wertvolle Zeit — und damit Kanzleihonorar, das oft nach Aufwand abgerechnet wird.
The key is correct account assignment: each entry is assigned to a debit and a credit account according to the standard chart of accounts (SKR 03 or SKR 04). Rental income, maintenance, property tax, insurance and interest thus automatically end up in the right accounts. Rentprime takes this assignment off your hands, so your tax advisor only has to import and check the file.
Practical tip: Agree with your tax advisor whether they use SKR 03 or SKR 04, and whether they want receipts as digital attachments. Rentprime can link the corresponding receipt to each entry (e.g. the invoice captured by receipt AI) — so the digital proof of receipts is complete and HMRC-compliant.
