If the fee is not paid on time, this is considered a waiver of admission to the tax consultant examination.

Deadlines & processing time
What deadlines must be paid attention to?
The deadline for submitting applications for admission ends annually on 30 April (cut-off deadline). If the application is received after the deadline, it will be rejected. Timely payment of the admission fee (which you can prove in case of doubt by means of a bank receipt) will be accepted as a timely application.
How long does it take to process
The Chamber of Tax Consultants decides on the application for admission to the tax consultant examination by written notification in the order of receipt of the applications after payment of the admission fee. A confirmation of receipt of the application will not be sent.
