Re: How to handle payment issue on taxes
Thank you, Panda, this is incredibly helpful. So, essentially, what matters is when they paid and not when I did the work/invoiced for it. Do these steps sound correct? I will break down the incorrect payment from 2025 into my net and VAT using the X/1.19 formula. The corrected payment, also made in...

Re: How to handle payment issue on taxes
Thank you, Eric7 and PandaMunich for responding. It really helps. I have one more question, if that's ok: The incorrectly paid invoice was incorrect because it was missing the VAT. When they corrected it, they paid the whole thing, plus the VAT. I do an annual VAT declaration (other clients are most...

Re: IT freelancing in Germany
I'm not in IT, so I can't speak to every issue you've raised, but I am a longterm freelancer. As far as multiple clients are concerned, I always thought you just needed to have multiple clients, period, and the best way to prove this would be with invoices to different clients within a tax year. So ...

How to handle payment issue on taxes
I have an irritating freelance issue and I want to make sure I handle it correctly on my end. In 2025, a client didn't pay one of my invoices in full, and after a lot of back and forth, agreed they needed to correct it, and then instead of paying me the difference owed, paid out the whole invoice in...

Re: Confusion with salaried gig/ taxes / KSK rules
Thank you, Panda! I was trying to figure this out and clearly not reading the right info. I appreciate you weighing in, and apologies for the late reply. I don't seem to be getting notifications from TT.

Confusion with salaried gig/ taxes / KSK rules
Hi all. I've been a freelancer in Germany for the past ten years, never had regular employment. I've been a member of the KSK for most of the last ten years. During a recent work rut, I tried looking for other gigs, including registering a profile on a site for film extras. I've now actually been of...

Re: Anyone can offer clarity on e-invoicing rules?
Thank you Panda!! This all makes a lot more sense now. I'm bookmarking the free e-invoice service you listed and am also quite relieved I have some time before needing to fully delve into this. At a tiny fraction of 800K € annual turnover, I'll just check in with my few clients here as this gets goi...

Anyone can offer clarity on e-invoicing rules?
Hi there, everyone. I'm starting to hear more about this new required e-invoicing thing. Rather than stress out unnecessarily, I would like to learn more so I can hopefully get it right. I googled a bit but felt unsure about what I read. Here's my understanding: As freiberuflich/freelance, I'm not o...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?
I'm flummoxed about something stupid that doesn't seem to warrant opening a whole new thread, so hope it's okay to post it here: For self-filers who received wage replacement benefits in 2023, elterngeld in our case, when is the 2023 tax return supposed to be filed, July 31 or August 31? I read both...
