Hornbach accounting with file import
Import files from Hornbach into KudTax and prepare the data they contain for reconciliation and accounting. You start the import by uploading a file.
The Hornbach marketplace is DIY retail, and DIY retail is seasonal. Most of the year's turnover falls between March and June. That is not a sales detail but a liquidity question: VAT returns follow turnover rather than the average, and in spring a multiple of the winter norm suddenly falls due.

What to watch for with Hornbach
The season shifts the tax burden, not just turnover
Turn over a multiple of the winter figure in spring and you owe a multiple in VAT for the same period, due before customers have finished paying. A permanent filing extension buys a month of air but costs a special prepayment, which itself has to be booked.
Seasonal stock ties up capital over winter
What has not sold by autumn sits in the warehouse until spring. Leave that stock valued at full cost and the year-end balance sheet looks better than the realisable value supports — and the error repeats every year in the same place.
