KaFE Refund Application is a module of the OpenFASTER family, mirroring the German KaFE (section 50c(3) EStG) capital income tax refund schema. This page indexes its two documents.
KaFE Refund Application is split into two documents:
Request -- the data model a bank or reporting institute submits, with an accompanying Excel template and downloadable PDF.
Response -- what the platform will receive back from BZSt after processing a submission, for implementers building a KaFE integration. Currently provisional -- see the document itself for why.
