Explanation of the small business regulation
How does the small business regulation work?
In order to simplify accounting and keep bookkeeping efforts low, entrepreneurs can use the so-called small business regulation if they fall below a certain revenue threshold.
They do not have to calculate and pay value-added tax (VAT). The legal basis for this can be found in the Value Added Tax Act (UStG). Small business owners should indicate on their invoices that they do not charge VAT in accordance with § 19 UStG.
The advantage of the small business regulation: You save the additional VAT pre-registration with the tax office – and this can be a relief.
On the other hand, you cannot benefit from input tax deduction. However, input tax deduction can be worthwhile, especially after starting a business. Therefore, you should carefully consider and discuss the decision for or against the small business regulation with your tax office.
Invoices created under the small business regulation only differ from other invoices by the absence of value-added tax (VAT) being shown. Apart from that, these invoices still have to comply with all requirements of the GoBD (Principles of Proper Digital Record Keeping and Document Storage).
Just because you apply the small business regulation does not mean that you are exempt from submitting an annual sales tax return. On the contrary, you still have to submit it. The good news is that with the service of easybill, you can do this with minimal effort.
Benefit from a comprehensive range of features even with the small business exemption. Just because you operate as a small business owner does not mean that you can take a lot of time for invoice creation and bookkeeping.

Wir haben easybill online entdeckt – und es war ein absoluter Glücksgriff! Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die hervorragende Beratung durch Herrn Hussain, der uns von Anfang an kompetent, freundlich und lösungsorientiert begleitet hat.… More Dank seiner Unterstützung hat die Anbindung reibungslos funktioniert. Wir sind so begeistert, dass wir nun auch mit unseren weiteren Marken zu easybill wechseln werden. Die Plattform ist benutzerfreundlich, effizient und perfekt auf unsere Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten. Ich werde easybill mit bestem Gewissen in meinem beruflichen Netzwerk weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Service!

Ich habe mich erst kürzlich für easybill entschieden, deshalb habe ich eine telefonische Einweisung genutzt. Zu Beginn sieht man ja den Wald vor lauter Bäume nicht. Der Kollege von easybill hat mir die wichtigsten Elemente erläutert. Außerdem… More haben wir gemeinsam ein Musterdokument (Rechnung) erstellt, damit kann man auch alle anderen Dokumente erstellen. Also für mich war das Telefonat sehr hilfreich. Nochmals vielen Dank.
