Notarized tax documents - everything you need to know

When it comes to tax matters, accuracy and compliance are key. In many cases, however, it is not enough to simply submit tax documents - they must be certified. But what exactly does that mean? And when do you need certified tax documents? In this article, you can find out everything you need to know about this topic.

What are certified tax documents?

A notarization is the official confirmation that a copy of a document matches the original. So if you need a certified copy of your tax documents, this means that an office, notary or certified body confirms that the copy submitted is a correct reproduction of the original.

There are two main types of notarized documents:

1. Official certification: Issued by authorities such as the tax office or other government agencies.
2. Notarial certification: A notary confirms the accuracy of the copy or the signature.

When do you need notarized tax documents?

There are various situations in which notarized tax documents are required. Here are some typical use cases:

• For foreign authorities: Many countries require a certified copy of your tax returns or other tax documents when processing tax matters.
• Immigration authorities: When applying for a visa or residence permit, you may be asked to provide certified tax documents to prove your income or financial situation.
• Banks or financial institutions: For certain financial transactions, such as loan applications or investments, banks require notarized tax documents.
• Legal proceedings: In legal disputes concerning your finances, it may be necessary to submit certified tax documents as evidence.

Which tax documents can be notarized?

As a rule, all relevant tax documents can be notarized. These include

• Tax returns
• Income tax certificates
• Proof of income
• Value added tax assessments
• Balance sheets and profit and loss accounts (for the self-employed and companies)

If you are unsure whether a particular document needs to be notarized, you should ask the office that requires the document directly.
