As WilderSueden already pointed out, that is indeed possible. The St.-Declaration is completed for 90% of all employees in 5 minutes. All data has already been reported. First, take over the data from the previous year, adjust, check, submit, done. (Exceptions for rentals, photovoltaics, care cases, etc.) This has been working for years...But I can't imagine that I will experience that again.
So not really an office, but a small company, right? I know that too (still). However, that was in 1996 and electronic time tracking was even introduced there in the same year.My wife also works "in the office." Sounds familiar.
Ok, since we are currently on the topic of off-topic, in my opinion, digitalization should look like this: every German citizen should have an online account with the tax office, to which employers automatically send all wage and income data, and other relevant tax data from banks, etc. should also be reported there. On this online account, you can then retrieve all documents such as pay slips at any time. Of course, the tax office or other authorities that need the information for something would also have access.
This would make many things unnecessary (e.g., tax returns, printing of pay slips, ...) and simplify some things. But I cannot imagine that I will still experience this.
There are already corresponding services like VaSt, for example.
Otherwise, your outlined approach (all documents in one place) is not a desirable state, as basic principles of data protection cannot be maintained that way, for example the need-to-know principle for interested parties, which is not only required in the GDPR.
“Documents” are also for people. Digitally, these data can be used very unfavorably further.
But this is slowly going too far here :)
The data protection laws existed (unfortunately) already before! ...... While we're at it:But then it's immediately the Stasi / Olaf Scholz is monitoring me discussion, which is completely ridiculous.
Crime investigation would be more successful if personal protection were lifted and everyone’s DNA were stored first, and every five years from the age of 15 fingerprints were taken, analyzed… and stored! Anyone who sees some irony here, but also parallels to the previous posts, may keep them :cool:Ok, since we're already off-topic, digitalization should, in my opinion, look like this: every German citizen
