Process

Three steps, we do the rest

The images are not mock-ups. They show the interface you will actually see after submitting.

  1. Step 01

    Upload documents

    Photograph your wage tax certificate or upload it as a PDF, choose the tax year, done. We need nothing more to get started.

    3 minutes

    The Clairmont form: first name, last name, e-mail, mobile number, tax year and the field for the wage tax certificate.
    One form, one file. Your entries are saved; you can continue later.
  2. Step 02

    View the forecast

    You get an account. It shows what is missing, what is in progress and whose turn it is. Your expected refund and our price are there before you decide.

    usually the next working day

    The client account shows the next step, the five stages of the case and the list of documents with their status.
    Your account on day one: the next step is right at the top.
  3. Step 03

    We file

    Preparation, submission to the tax office, review of the tax assessment notice. You have nothing more to do and can still see at any time where your case stands.

    status always in your account

    The same account later: the return is with the tax office, four of the five steps are done.
    Later in the same account: done is done, and you can see that the tax office is now at work.

Do it yourself, an app or a firm?

Frequently asked questions

What clients want to know beforehand

What does it cost?

You see the price before engaging us, together with the forecast. The forecast itself is free and commits you to nothing. There are no hidden items and no billing by time spent.

Which documents do I need?

To start, the wage tax certificate is enough. We ask for anything else specifically, when we actually need it. A photo taken with your phone is fine.

How long does it take?

You usually receive the forecast the next working day. How long the tax office takes after that is not up to us; a few weeks is typical.

Can I catch up on several years?

Yes. Four years retroactively are possible if you are not obliged to file. Each year becomes a separate case, but you upload your documents only once.

What if there is nothing to refund?

Then we tell you so in the forecast, before any costs arise. You then decide whether we should file the return anyway.

Calculate first, then decide

The forecast costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You see your expected refund and our price before we start.
