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 Solar system operators?

A solar plant operator is a person or company that operates solar plants to generate solar energy and convert it into electricity or heat. The main tasks and responsibilities of a solar plant operator include:

  1. Installation and commissioning: The operator is often responsible for installing the solar energy system, including selecting appropriate technologies, planning and executing the installation.
  2. Operation and maintenance: The operator ensures the ongoing operation of the solar energy system, including regular maintenance and inspections to ensure that the system is operating efficiently and reliably.
  3. Monitoring performance: solar plant operators monitor the performance of the plants to ensure that they are achieving the expected energy production. This often includes the use of monitoring software to track performance in real time.
  4. Selling energy: operators sell the energy produced, either directly to consumers or through the grid. In many countries, there are feed-in tariffs or other incentives for selling solar power.
  5. Complying with regulations: You must ensure that the solar installation complies with all relevant legal and environmental regulations, including permits and safety standards.
  6. Customer care: If the solar installation is operated for third parties, the operator is responsible for customer contact, answering questions and offering support.
  7. Financial management: The operator is also responsible for the financial management of the solar installation, including cost control, revenue tracking and investment management.
  8. Developing new projects: Many solar plant operators are actively involved in planning and developing new solar projects to expand their portfolio and promote the use of renewable energies.

Solar plant operators play a crucial role in promoting the use of renewable energies and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and combating climate change.
