Ah ja, wie mag wohl der Prozess dahinter sein? Werden Daten händisch über berittene Boten an das Bundeszentralamt für Steuern getragen, die diese dann in eine Liste eintragen?
Dieser Service ist erst ca. eine Woche nach Meldung einer IBAN über das Portal oder der Erklärung gegenüber Ihrer Bank nutzbar, da Meldungen nicht immer täglich an das BZSt übermittelt werden. Darüber hinaus kann die Erfassung, Übermittlung, Verifikation und Speicherung einer Meldung in den IT-Systemen der Banken und/oder der Finanzverwaltung einen gewissen Zeitraum in Anspruch nehmen.
