As of October 4, 2023, the SV-Meldeportal (reporting portal for German social security purposes; hereinafter “SI Reporting Portal”) is going to replace sv.net. In the following, you will learn what the replacement means for you as an employer, how to register for the new portal and get further useful advice.
With sv.net and also the SI Reporting Portal, social insurance institutions meet their obligation to provide employers with a form manager for the electronic transmission of reports, contribution statements, certificates and applications. Both are used by employers when, for example, social insurance contributions need to be subsequently reported for calendar years that have already been completed in payroll accounting, or social insurance reports need to be corrected, for example, due to a social insurance audit.
The SI Reporting Portal was created because the legislator imposed requirements on the social insurance carriers for electronic form managers, which could not be implemented in sv.net.
How can I register my company for the SI Reporting Portal?
In order to register and use the SI Reporting Portal, the employee needs an ELSTER organization certificate.
If such certificate has not been obtained yet, it can be applied for at www.mein-unternehmenskonto.de
Among other things, you will need your company’s tax number. Subsequently, the tax office will send you activation data by e-mail and mail, by means of which you can authorize yourself and generate the ELSTER organization certificate.
Once you have obtained the ELSTER organization certificate, you can register in the SI Reporting Portal:
Please note that you need the ELSTER organization certificate every time you log in to the SI Reporting Portal.
Can my tax advisor file reports for my company in the SI Reporting Portal?
Yes, that is possible. There are two options to activate your tax advisor:
Option 1:
You as a company can assign a mandate to your tax advisor in the SI Reporting Portal.
Option 2:
Your tax advisor can request a client for your company in the SI Reporting Portal
How long is sv.net still available for use?
sv.net will be fully available until December 31, 2023. Subsequently, it will be available with restricted functions and will be finally closed as of February 29, 2024.
Is the use of the SI Reporting Portal subject to a fee?
The legislator determined that the costs can be charged to the users to a reasonable extent. The user fees are as follows for
and are charged in each case for a 36-month term in advance.
Important: Use of the SI Reporting Portal is free of charge in 2023 and 2024 if registration has been made before March 31, 2024.
Does the Portal replace professional payroll programs?
No. Just like sv.net, the SI Reporting Portal cannot make any calculations and therefore does not compete with payroll accounting programs.
