Simple bookkeeping for businesses and the self-employed

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.

What do you actually do as a Flight captain?
A captain, also known as the pilot in command (PIC), has the main responsibility for the safe operation of an aircraft. The most important tasks of a captain include:
- Flight preparation: the captain plans the flight, checks weather conditions, the flight route, fuel requirements and possible alternative routes.
- Coordinating with the crew: He communicates with the co-pilot, the cabin crew and the air traffic controllers to ensure smooth cooperation.
- Controlling the aircraft: The captain either steers the aircraft himself or monitors the co-pilot’s steering. The captain also remains responsible during autopilot operation.
- Emergency management: In the event of technical problems or emergencies, it is the captain’s responsibility to make decisions and act accordingly to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
- Landing and take-off: Although the co-pilot is often involved, the captain bears the ultimate responsibility for a safe take-off and landing.
- Passenger and crew safety: The captain is responsible for ensuring that safety regulations and procedures are followed on board.
In summary, the captain is the central leader in the cockpit.
