Questions
Questions people ask before downloading Fahrtenbuch Steuerlog
Is the logbook recognised by the Finanzamt?
The app keeps records in the structured, timely, exportable form the BMF circulars describe, but whether a specific logbook is recognised is decided solely by your competent Finanzamt.
What is free versus Premium?
Free covers up to 10 trips a month on one vehicle with ads. The one-time Premium purchase unlocks unlimited trips, PDF and CSV export, multiple vehicles, backup and restore, and removes ads.
Can I export for my tax advisor?
Yes. Premium exports a PDF with an integrity check or a CSV that is ready to hand to your Steuerberater or Finanzamt.

Bigger workflow
If this app opens up a bigger problem
The app may solve a concrete job immediately. If it exposes a larger operational, web, or content problem behind it, these are the closest practical routes.
Operational systems
If the workflow behind the app reveals manual steps, approval layers, tool sprawl, or operational debt, this is where it becomes a real system.
Web platforms
If this direction points toward a portal, stronger web layer, SEO surface area, or client-facing interface, this is the closest next route.
