The good news for you
As a freelancer without a business, you are exempt from the obligation to keep double-entry accounts under the Income Tax Act (EStG), regardless of turnover and profit. The principle of so-called simple bookkeeping applies to you.

Simple bookkeeping for businesses and the self-employed
Do you understand your accounting requirements? With Seewara, we offer a simple, transparent solution for businesses and the self-employed who want to keep track of their finances.
Who counts as a commercial enterprise?
Commercial enterprises include all companies that do not fall under the category of freelancers according to §18 EStG. This includes, for example, all commercial activities that are not exempt from the accounting obligation by law. Typical commercial enterprises are, for example, trading companies, craft businesses or limited liability companies (e.g. GmbH) that are either voluntarily or legally entered in the commercial register.
Limits for simple bookkeeping
Certain limits apply to commercial enterprises that are not required to keep accounts:
- Turnover limit: 800,000 euros
- Profit limit: 80,000 euros
If your business does not exceed these limits, you can use the simplified income statement (EÜR) instead of complex double-entry bookkeeping.
Self-employed persons according to Section 18 EStG
Self-employed persons who work in one of the catalogue professions are also affected by special regulations. The catalogue professions include, among others:
- Artistic activities
- Scientific activities
- Teaching and writing activities
- Educational activities
These professions are mentioned in the exhaustive list of §18 EStG and are considered to be self-employed regardless of the level of income.
