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.

Less bureaucracy, more freedom
Whether you are a tradesperson or self-employed – with our simple accounting solution, you can keep track of everything and save yourself unnecessary bureaucracy. Get in touch with us to customise your bookkeeping to your needs!

What do you actually do as a General Practitioner?

A general practitioner, also known as a family doctor or general practitioner, is a medical professional who provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages. The main duties of a general practitioner include:

  1. Diagnosis and treatment: General practitioners diagnose a variety of health conditions and illnesses and provide appropriate treatment.
  2. Preventive medicine: They perform regular health check-ups, offer immunisations and advise their patients on healthy lifestyles to prevent disease.
  3. Referrals: When specialised treatment or further diagnosis is required, general practitioners refer patients to specialists or other healthcare providers.
  4. Chronic disease management: GPs help patients with the long-term management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or asthma.
  5. Emergency care: They can intervene quickly in emergencies and provide first aid before further treatment is given.
  6. Patient counselling: General practitioners advise their patients on various health issues, including nutrition, exercise and mental health.

Other categories of doctors:

There are numerous specialties within medicine that doctors can specialise in. Here are some of the main categories:

  1. Specialists: These doctors specialise in specific areas of medicine. Examples include:
  • Cardiologist: specialising in cardiovascular diseases.
  • Dermatologist: specialises in skin diseases.
  • Paediatrician: specialises in children’s health.
  • Gynaecologist: specialises in women’s health and obstetric care.
  1. Surgeons: doctors who specialise in surgical procedures, e.g. orthopaedic surgeons (bones and joints), neurosurgeons (nervous system) or plastic surgeons (aesthetic and reconstructive procedures).

  3. Psychiatrists: Specialists in mental illness who offer diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.
