Accounting for you as
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.

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.

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 tradesperson or artist who specialises in painting, varnishing and designing surfaces. A painter’s tasks include:

  1. Painting walls and ceilings: a painter prepares surfaces (by sanding and filling) and paints them with colour to give rooms or buildings a fresh look.
  2. Painting doors, windows and furniture: He or she applies varnish to wood, metal or plastic surfaces to protect and beautify them.
  3. Design techniques: These include creative techniques such as applying wallpaper, glazes, plaster or artistic painting techniques to achieve decorative effects.
  4. Facade painting: A painter often works outside to protect facades from environmental influences and to visually enhance buildings.
  5. Protective coatings: These include special coatings to protect surfaces from moisture, rust or other influences.
  6. Consulting and planning: Many painters advise customers on the selection of the right colours and materials and create offers for projects.
