What?
Manage your finances with confidence! Writing invoices, navigating the “small business” rules (Kleinunternehmer), or understanding value-added tax (VAT) rules for artists and teachers – freelancing comes with challenges beyond your actual work. This seminar breaks down Germany’s income tax and value-added tax (VAT) system for self-employed workers and freelancers, focusing on the rules for transactions within Germany only.
This online seminar is part of the event series Get started! First steps in self-employment in cooperation with touring artists. In multiple on- and offline events, our speakers offer insights on various topics that are important for your start into self-employment in Germany. In addition, we would like to give you tips, good practice examples and connect you with other artists and creative professionals in Berlin.
