Painter

Discover a new dimension in accounting with Seewara, customised for you as a Painter with mandatory accounting – without do-it-yourself software and without sole dependence on artificial intelligence.

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.

Seewara is the best choice for you to have your bookkeeping done by professionals. Find out more about your field of activity and industry here.

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 Painter?

A painter is a skilled worker who specialises in coating surfaces with paints, varnishes and other coatings. The main tasks and responsibilities of a painter include:

  1. Preparing surfaces: Painters prepare surfaces by cleaning, sanding, filling or priming them to ensure optimal adhesion of the coating.
  2. Selection of materials: They select suitable paints, varnishes and coating materials that meet the requirements of the project and the customer’s wishes.
  3. Painting: Painters carry out the painting of surfaces, using various techniques such as spray painting, rolling or brushing to achieve an even and attractive finish.
  4. Design: They may also use decorative techniques to achieve special effects, for example by stencilling or special painting methods.
  5. Repair work: Painters carry out minor repairs to surfaces to remove imperfections and improve the appearance before they start painting.
  6. Safety precautions: They must follow safety regulations, especially when handling chemicals and working at heights or in confined spaces.
  7. Documentation: Painters keep records of the materials used, working hours and special requirements of the project.
  8. Cleaning and maintenance: After finishing work, they clean their tools and the workplace to ensure tidiness and cleanliness.
  9. Training: Painters stay informed about new materials, techniques and trends in the field of surface treatment and design.
  10. Customer advice: They advise customers on colour and material selection and the best coating techniques to meet their wishes and requirements.

Overall, the painter plays an important role in the design and maintenance of surfaces by ensuring that they are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
