GoBD-Bußgelder bei lückenhafter Dokumentation der Anlagendisposition
Definition
GoBD 2019 (Ordnungsgemäße Geschäftsvorfallsbearbeitung) requires tamper-proof, time-ordered disposal documentation. Finanzamt (tax authority) auditors verify that every asset disposal is linked to: (1) original purchase record, (2) destruction date/method, (3) disposal revenue or loss. Missing links = audit adjustment + fine. Typical Betriebsprüfung finding: €5,000–€50,000 per company cycle (3–5 years).
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €30,000–€200,000 annual audit correction costs; Fine: €5,000–€50,000 per Betriebsprüfung cycle
- Frequency: Betriebsprüfung conducted every 3–5 years; penalties cumulative across all disposal gaps in audit period
- Root Cause: Paper-based disposal logs not linked to accounting records; missing timestamps or serial numbers; no audit trail for disposition decisions; lack of integration with ERP/accounting software
