Kassenbon
A German lottery-loss tax helper that imports your confirmed losing tickets from Lotto, Eurojackpot, and Keno, calculates eligible 'Werbungskosten' deductions, and produces the receipt summary your Steuerberater needs.
German taxpayers who play the lottery regularly and want to deduct documented losses
- Import of losing tickets and receipts via photo OCR with confirmation screen
- Annual summary export aligned with German 'Anlage N' / Werbungskosten format
- Direct submission flow to common German tax software (Elster, WISO, Smartsteuer)
- Privacy-first design: receipts stored locally, never shared without explicit user action
Regular Eurojackpot and Lotto players often leave real money on the table at tax time; the recurring 200+ DE search volume proves this audience is actively looking up their play history.
The cited trend source is 'lottozahlen eurojackpot' — that's demand for winning-number lookups, not tax-loss deduction; separate searches on 'Spielverluste Werbungskosten' return advisory articles telling users private Lotto/Eurojackpot/Keno losses are NOT deductible, indicating no real underlying demand for the proposed tool.Spielverluste steuerlich absetzen: Was die Finanzbehörde gestattet ↗Spielverluste steuerlich absetzen: Was das Finanzamt erlaubt ↗
No competitors found for a lottery-loss Werbungskosten app — but this absence reflects that the use case is legally barred for the target user (private players), not an open market waiting to be served.Best Tax Return Software Germany in 2026 ↗Best Tax Software in Germany 2026 ↗
Willingness to pay collapses to near zero: under German tax law, private Lotto/Eurojackpot/Keno losses are explicitly non-deductible, so the tool would produce a €0 tax benefit — no Steuerberater or taxpayer will pay for an output the Finanzamt rejects.Spielverluste steuerlich absetzen: Was das Finanzamt erlaubt ↗Glücksspiel-Verluste von der Steuer geltend machen: Was das Finanzamt erlaubt ↗
Built on a false legal premise: German tax law consistently treats private gambling winnings as tax-free and losses as non-deductible (only gewerbliche/professionelle Spieler can deduct as Betriebsausgaben), and this position has been stable for years — the idea has no durable value to protect.Spielverluste steuerlich geltend machen: Was das Finanzamt erlaubt ↗
Technically trivial to build (CSV import + simple sum), but functionally infeasible: the produced 'Werbungskosten' figure would be rejected by the Finanzamt for ordinary private lottery players, so any 'Steuerberater-ready' output is misleading rather than useful.Spielverluste steuerlich absetzen: Was die Finanzbehörde gestattet ↗
