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.

What do you actually do as a Podiatrist?
A podiatrist is a specialist who focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and ankle problems. The main tasks and responsibilities of a podiatrist include:
- Foot examinations: Podiatrists perform thorough examinations of the feet to identify problems such as deformities, skin or nail conditions, and biomechanical disorders.
- Treating foot complaints: They treat various foot problems, such as corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, heel pain or athlete’s foot.
- Orthopaedic aids: Podiatrists fit orthopaedic insoles or other aids to correct or alleviate foot and ankle problems.
- Wound care: They care for wounds, especially in diabetics or people with circulatory disorders, to avoid complications and promote healing.
- Advice and prevention: Podiatrists advise their patients on proper foot care, foot health and preventive measures to avoid foot problems.
- Rehabilitation: They can help patients rehabilitate from foot or ankle injuries by recommending exercises and therapies.
- Collaborating with other professionals: Podiatrists often work with doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists or other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.
- Educating: They educate patients about the importance of foot health and inform them about possible risks and symptoms that require treatment.
- Documenting: Podiatrists document their patients’ findings, treatments and progress to ensure the quality of care.
- Further training: They keep up to date with new developments and techniques in the field of podiatry in order to expand their knowledge and skills.
Overall, a podiatrist plays an important role in healthcare by helping to diagnose and treat foot problems, improving the quality of life of their patients and promoting their mobility.
