Tax Returns

A tax return is the declaration to the tax office regarding tax-relevant facts; for natural persons § 25 EStG (income tax), for corporations § 31 KStG (corporate tax), and for businesses § 14a GewStG (trade tax) provide the respective legal basis. Tax returns and pre-filings rely on receipts, annual accounts, and shareholder details containing extensive personal data. anonym.legal pseudonymizes that data GDPR-compliantly so companies and tax advisors can prepare, reconcile, and archive returns without unnecessarily exposing the identities of business partners and shareholders.

Human reviewers spot-check the output each week.

We track recall and precision on a labelled set.

Bad runs block the deploy.

What we never do

Long jobs use a few credits each.

You can top up at any time.

Unused credits roll over each month.

Who built this

A small team of engineers and lawyers built this.

We ship from Europe and work in the open.

Our founder note spells out why we started.

Where to start

How the parts fit

A browser add-on cleans text inside Chrome.

A Word plug-in handles drafts in Office.

A small desktop tool works on whole folders.

An agent protocol link feeds large models safely.

All four share one core engine and one rule set.

Words from our team

We started this work after a lunch about cookies.

One friend kept getting odd ads on her phone.

We asked why a court file leaked through a draft.

We sketched the first build on a napkin that week.

By month three we had a tiny demo for a friend.

She used it on her first case the next day.

Common questions we hear

Can the tool read scanned PDFs? Yes, with OCR.

Does it work on long files? Yes, in small chunks.

Can I roll my own rule set? Yes, save it as a preset.

Does it run offline? The desktop build runs offline.

Do you keep my files? No, the cloud build wipes after each run.

Will it learn from my work? No, we never train on inputs.

A short tour of the workflow

Upload a file or paste a snippet of prose.

Pick the entities you want gone from the draft.

Choose a method: replace, mask, hash, encrypt, or redact.

Press run and watch the side panel show each hit.

Skim the result and tweak any rule that misfired.

Save the cleaned file or send it to a teammate.
