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 Osteopath?
An osteopath is a healthcare professional who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, as well as promoting overall health. Osteopathy is a holistic form of therapy that views the body as a unit and assumes that physical, emotional and environmental factors are interconnected. The main tasks and activities of an osteopath include:
- Diagnosis: Osteopaths conduct a comprehensive anamnesis (discussion of the patient’s medical history) and a physical examination to identify complaints and their causes.
- Treatment: They use manual techniques to improve joint mobility, release tension and optimise the function of organs and tissues. This may involve mobilisation, stretching, pressure or manipulation.
- Pain relief: Osteopaths treat musculoskeletal pain, such as back pain, neck pain, joint pain or headaches.
- Prevention: They advise patients on preventive measures and lifestyle changes to prevent future complaints. This may include nutrition, exercise and ergonomic recommendations.
- Holistic approach: Osteopaths consider the entire body and the interactions between different body systems to provide comprehensive treatment.
- Collaborative practice: Osteopaths often work with other healthcare providers, such as physicians, physiotherapists and massage therapists, to ensure integrated patient care.
- Rehabilitation: They help patients recover from injuries and restore normal function by creating customised therapy plans.
- Education: Osteopaths educate their patients about their conditions, treatment approaches, and the influence of lifestyle and habits on health.
Osteopathy is often considered a complementary or alternative form of therapy and can help improve quality of life in many cases. It is recognised in many countries, and osteopaths often require specific training and licensing to practice.
