What you should know

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 Horticulturist?

A horticulturist, often referred to as a gardener or landscape gardener, is a professional who is involved in the planning, design, care and maintenance of gardens, landscapes and green spaces. The work of a horticulturist encompasses both creative and technical aspects and can take place in various areas such as private gardens, public parks, commercial facilities and landscape projects. Here are the main tasks and activities of a horticulturist:

Main tasks of a horticulturist

  1. Planning and design: Horticulturists create designs for gardens and landscapes that meet the needs and wishes of clients. They take into account aspects such as plant selection, colours, shapes and functionality.
  2. Plant selection: They select suitable plants that match the site conditions (e.g. soil conditions, light conditions) and climatic conditions. The choice of plants also takes into account aesthetics and biodiversity.
  3. Soil preparation : Horticulturists prepare the soil by loosening, fertilising and, if necessary, improving it to create optimal growing conditions for the plants.
  4. Planting: They place the selected plants in the ground, ensuring the correct planting depth and the necessary spacing between the plants.
  5. Water and irrigation systems: Horticulturists install and maintain irrigation systems to ensure that the plants are supplied with sufficient water.
  6. Care and maintenance: This includes regular activities such as weeding, fertilising, pruning plants, controlling pests and diseases and general maintenance of green spaces.
  7. Landscaping: Horticulturists also carry out landscaping work, including the construction of paths, terraces, fences, ponds and other landscape elements.
  8. Lawn care: They take care of the seeding, maintenance and renovation of lawns, including mowing, fertilising and aerating.
  9. Consultancy: Horticulturists advise customers on care instructions, suitable plants and the optimal design of their gardens or outdoor areas.
  10. Training: To keep up to date with the latest gardening techniques, plant care and landscape design, horticulturists regularly take part in training and further education courses.

Conclusion

Horticulturists play an important role in designing and maintaining green spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and ecologically sustainable. Their work helps to improve the quality of life in urban and rural areas and promotes biodiversity and the well-being of the people who use these spaces. Through their planning, design and maintenance skills, they create vibrant and harmonious landscapes.
