TaxGraph
The TaxGraph connector opens German tax law in anymize: statutes, judgments, BMF guidance and directives, each with a citation.

What you can do with it
TaxGraph is a research source, not a client file. The assistant looks it up there instead of answering from memory, and names the place where it stands.
- “What currently applies to input-VAT deduction for mixed-use vehicles?”
- “Is there BMF guidance on invoice correction under section 14c UStG?”
- “Find me judgments on the line between trade and liberal professions.”
- “Has the legal position on property tax changed since 2024?”
TaxGraph only reads. There is nothing to create or change there; the stock is published law.
How to connect TaxGraph
- 01Create a TaxGraph account if you do not have one yet. The query quota is tied to that account.
- 02In anymize open Apps, then Connectors, and search for TaxGraph.
- 03Click Connect. A TaxGraph window opens; you sign in there once. anymize never sees your password.
- 04Confirm the permission. After that TaxGraph is available in chat.
You can store several TaxGraph accounts, for example one per site. In the connector overview you add another account for that.
Does the AI invent citations?
That is the right concern, and the connector is built exactly against it. Without a connection a language model would have to answer from memory, and invented file references arise. With TaxGraph it fetches the source and passes it on, instead of inventing it.
Still: look at the cited source before you use it in a brief or a statement. If TaxGraph finds nothing, the assistant should say so and not guess. If it reports an exhausted quota, that is not “nothing found”.
The tool set comes from TaxGraph itself. If a tool is added there that anymize does not yet know, the assistant asks before running it instead of just letting it go.
What is anonymized
TaxGraph itself contains no client data, but published law. What you write in chat still goes through anonymization: client names, tax numbers and amounts from your case are replaced by placeholders before a search query is made of them.
anymize is not tax or legal advice. The research results are preparatory work that you check and take responsibility for.
