Germany reporting cycles and business-day rules
German business-day cycles align with Lohnsteueranmeldung on the 10th of each month (next Bankarbeitstag if it falls on a weekend or Feiertag), Sozialversicherungsbeiträge on the third-to-last Bankarbeitstag, and quarterly Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung. SEPA Credit Transfer settles next-business-day; SEPA Instant runs around the clock but classic SCT respects Bankarbeitstage. BaFin MaRisk reporting under AnaCredit and FinaRisikoV follows monthly and quarterly cycles. §193 BGB rolls weekend or Feiertag deadlines to the next Werktag, which this calculator's Arbeitstage definition implements.
