EOSS

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EOSS stands for E volutionär o rien oriented S expensive s oftware and refers to the currently most commonly used management software of the tax authorities in Germany .

As part of KONSENS Level I, it has been applied in thirteen of the 16 federal states since May 2011 and in fifteen from the end of 2011 .

The software is mainly maintained and developed in the federal state of Bavaria , but each federal state involved is entitled to introduce process parts and to participate in the funding of the project.

Development history

After the FISCUS project failed for the first time in 2000 after seven years of development , the state of Bavaria decided not to participate any further. Instead, they founded their own project with EOSS with the aim of further developing their own control software, which has been used since the 1970s.

After the final failure of the FISCUS project, more and more federal states joined the so-called EOSS network. It is true that the new attempt by the state tax authorities to create uniform tax software called KONSENS is seen as the legitimate successor to the Fiscus project. Nevertheless, the merger to form the EOSS network, which all federal states want to join in the foreseeable future, plays an important and decisive role on the way to a uniform software solution for the federal German financial administration.

The states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia have been using the Bavarian software processes since 1993, and Saarland adopted them in 2000.

The EOSS association has existed since 2002 with the following countries: Brandenburg , Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , Saarland , Saxony , Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia .

The EOSS association has set itself the goal of constant further development and modernization on the basis of the existing tax software landscape as well as the integration of the procedures under the uniform " UNIFA " user interface .

As an intermediate step on the way to the KONSENS project, the states of Bremen , Hamburg , Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin had agreed with Bavaria to take over the programs of the EOSS network until 2007/2008. This reduced the number of redundancies in the survey area from three to two, and in the assessment area from five to four.

The later transfer of the tax administrations of all EOSS countries to the world of KONSENS will be faster and more economical.

Introduction to Rhineland-Palatinate

On June 1, 2010, the entire tax automation process in Rhineland-Palatinate was converted to EOSS. All tax offices were migrated to EOSS at the same time as the changeover without a transition phase.

Introduction to Baden-Württemberg

In the tax offices of Baden-Württemberg, between April 20 and May 2, 2011, conversion work to introduce new IT programs took place. Since May 3, 2011, the procedures of the EOSS network as part of KONSENS Level I have been available to the tax offices.

The basis for these processes are the functionally extended IT processes of the EOSS network.

New developments are being carried out as part of the KONSENS project.

Introduction to Hessen and Lower Saxony

The functionally enhanced IT processes of the EOSS network will also be introduced in the tax offices of the states of Hesse and Lower Saxony in 2011 as a first stage of the federal-state project KONSENS.
