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 Town planner?

A town (also urban) planner is a professional who is concerned with the development and design of urban and rural spaces. The tasks and responsibilities of an urban planner include:

  1. Developing planning strategies: Urban planners design long-term plans and strategies for the use of land and resources to promote sustainable and vibrant communities.
  2. Spatial planning: They analyse and plan the spatial arrangement of residential areas, commerce, industry, transport routes, open spaces and infrastructure to create a balanced and functional urban landscape.
  3. Development plans: Urban planners create development plans that define the permissible use of land and ensure that new buildings and developments comply with urban guidelines and regulations.
  4. Environmental assessment: They take into account environmental factors and impacts in their planning to promote sustainable solutions and maintain ecological integrity.
  5. Public participation: Urban planners organise and lead public participation processes to incorporate the opinions and needs of the community into the planning process.
  6. Collaborating with other professionals: They work closely with architects, engineers, landscape architects, environmental experts and government agencies to develop integrated solutions.
  7. Planning transportation: Urban planners analyse and plan transportation systems to improve accessibility and mobility within the city and reduce congestion.
  8. Use of GIS technologies: They use geographic information systems (GIS) to analyse data and create visual representations of plans.
  9. Promoting social equity: Urban planners often work to create equitable and inclusive communities by promoting access to housing, services and public spaces for all population groups.
  10. Monitoring and evaluation: After implementing planning projects, urban planners monitor their impact and success in order to make adjustments if necessary.

Overall, urban planners play a crucial role in designing livable and sustainable cities and towns by developing innovative solutions to complex urban challenges.
