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 Photojournalist?

A photojournalist, also known as a photojournalist or photojournalist, is a professional who conveys information and stories through photographic images. The duties and responsibilities of a photojournalist include

  1. Photographic documentation: Photojournalists create photographs that document current events, social issues, politics, sports, culture and other relevant stories.
  2. Research: They research the topics they want to photograph to better understand the context and develop appropriate image ideas.
  3. Event reporting: Photojournalists are often on location to photograph major events such as conferences, protests, festivals or sporting events to capture the mood and dynamics of the situation.
  4. Interviews and interaction: They often conduct interviews with the protagonists of their stories to better understand their perspectives and incorporate them into their photographs.
  5. Image editing: After shooting, they edit their images to improve the quality and ensure they are suitable for publication.
  6. Collaboration with editors: Photojournalists work closely with editors, journalists and other members of the media or news organisation team to ensure that their images support the intended story.
  7. Publication: They deliver their photographs to newspapers, magazines, online platforms or other media outlets where they are used as supporting material to articles or reports.
  8. Compliance with ethics and legal standards: Photojournalists must follow the ethical guidelines of journalistic practice and ensure that their work is fair and accurate, without invading people’s privacy or dealing sensitively with certain subjects.
  9. Creativity and style: They develop their own photographic style and creative approaches to visually tell stories and capture the interest of viewers.
  10. Further training: Photojournalists stay informed about technological developments, new photographic techniques and trends in the media landscape to constantly improve their skills.

Overall, photojournalists play an important role in journalism by telling visual stories that engage and inform readers and viewers. Their work helps to make events and topics tangible and emotionally accessible.
