For Danove.sk, we developed a web application for the online completion and submission of tax returns for individuals and sole traders. The application guides users step by step through comprehensible questions, automatically recalculates taxes in real-time, and generates a completed return in PDF and XML formats. Users do not need to understand tax laws or accounting; they simply answer the questions, and the system takes care of the rest, including the option for electronic submission directly on behalf of the user.
(VÍZIA)
The vision was to create a service that relieves ordinary people and sole traders from the fear of filing tax returns. No complicated forms, no hours spent studying legislation, no need to pay an accountant for simpler cases. The application was designed to be available 24/7 from any device, providing assurance that the calculations are correct and comply with the current legislation for the respective year.
(PROBLÉM)
Existing solutions for tax returns often share the same problem. They tend to be either too complicated, replicating the structure of paper forms, or overly simplified to the point that they do not cover specific situations. Our goal was to find a middle ground. The application dynamically adapts to the user's situation, displaying only what is relevant to them. An employee with a single income sees a simple form. A sole trader with multiple incomes is presented with a more detailed but still comprehensible process. At the same time, we addressed the security of personal and financial data, which in a tax application is not an optional feature but a fundamental requirement.
(NÁŠ POSTUP)
We designed the entire application to be user-friendly for someone who has never filled out a tax return. The form does not use accounting jargon. Each field has an explanation, and the logic of the form adapts to the user's answers, displaying only relevant questions. Automatic data validation runs in the background, minimizing the risk of errors. The calculation of tax, overpayment, or underpayment is updated in real-time, allowing users to see continuously how much they need to pay or receive back. Most people can complete the whole process in about 15 minutes.
(POTREBY UŽÍVATEĽA)
An employee needs to quickly complete a type A return and find out how much they will receive back as a refund. A sole trader needs to reliably process a type B return, including all income and expenses. Both want to be assured that the calculation is correct without having to check every line of the form. The application covers both groups, providing automatic calculation, a guarantee of correctness according to the current legislation, export to PDF for printing or XML for electronic submission, and optional consultation with an expert for more complex cases.
(VÝZVY)
The biggest challenge was to translate complex tax legislation into a simple and comprehensible form. Tax returns of type A and type B have different structures, various attachments, and different calculation rules. The application must cover all variants while remaining straightforward for users unfamiliar with these differences. Technically, implementing real-time calculations, automatic validation, and generating outputs in the exact format accepted by the tax authority was also demanding.
(USER CENTRIC)
The entire application is designed for someone who wants to have their taxes resolved as quickly as possible with the assurance that everything is correct. The interface guides them through questions in plain language rather than accounting terminology. They continuously see the status of the calculation and receive a completed document ready for submission at the end. For those seeking extra assurance, a professional review by an accountant or tax specialist is available. The application works on mobile, laptop, and tablet, allowing users to manage their taxes anytime and anywhere.
