Bookkeeping for taxi and private hire: do it yourself or have it done.

What the bookkeeping module takes care of

A receipt photo and a bank transaction become a posting record – all you do is confirm.

1. 01

   Create the month

   You create the bookkeeping month, for example 06/2026. Cash register and taximeter revenue is already available from operations.

2. 02

   Capture receipts

   Photograph a receipt or upload it as a PDF. starkcenter suggests date, supplier, net, gross, VAT and the matching accounts from your chart of accounts (SKR03 or SKR04). You confirm, and the receipt is posted.

3. 03

   Reconcile the bank

   starkcenter retrieves bank transactions via FinTS directly from your bank. Matching postings are suggested for every receipt – open, matched or ignored remains visible.

4. 04

   Evaluate and hand over

   Fixed assets with depreciation and a management report (BWA) run on the same postings. At month-end, a DATEV posting batch in EXTF format is created with account, contra account, receipt number and tax rate.

Route 1: Post it yourself for €19.90

You keep the books yourself in your bookkeeping software, for example Lexware. starkcenter provides the prepared posting records with account and contra account as well as the captured receipts – you import the batch and complete the advance return and the accounts with your program or your tax adviser.

Price: €19.90 per vehicle and month, net plus VAT, requires the PROFI data plan. Receipt recognition, bank retrieval, fixed-asset accounting and DATEV export are included.

Route 2: A tax adviser takes over

You would rather not deal with accounts, advance returns and deadlines yourself? Then hand the posting batch from starkcenter to your tax adviser. The accounting firm imports it into DATEV, checks the postings and files the VAT with the tax office – around 90 tax advisory firms currently work with exports from starkcenter. If you already have an accounting firm, everything stays as it is.

You do not have a tax adviser yet or would like to switch? With starktax, the tax advisory firm specialising in taxi and private hire operators, this is possible immediately: support is available from €49.90 per month.

Example starktax: from €49.90 per month, net plus VAT, in addition to the bookkeeping module. You conclude the contract and engagement directly with starktax. For comparison: conventional bookkeeping for a business with one vehicle and no employees often costs around €120 per month – example value, depending on the firm and scope.
