The VAT (USt.) is just a pass-through that the tax office forces you to handle:
You issue an invoice to your customer plus 19% (or 7%) VAT.
That 19% doesn’t belong to you — it’s 100% for the tax office.
You must remit it on time, even if the customer hasn’t paid you yet.
With the small business regulation (Kleinunternehmerregelung):
You don’t charge VAT on your invoices.
You don’t have to pay VAT to the tax office, so you never have to “advance” their money or worry about late payments from customers.
Everything your customer pays you stays with you.
In short: the small business rule frees you from this pass-through job. You’re not the tax office’s collection agent anymore while waiting for customers to pay.
Creating VAT advance returns (UStVA) for Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4
The advance payments to the tax office are calculated correctly.
How does this change with the small business regulation?
No VAT advance return (UStVA)
You no longer have to report quarterly to the tax office.
No UStVA, no advance payments on VAT.
Tax advisor
You can still provide your income and expenses quarterly or monthly, but only for:
Profit calculation
Calculation of income tax prepayments
So it becomes much simpler because no VAT advance return has to be prepared.
Recording income
It is important that every income is properly recorded (date, amount, customer) so that the tax advisor can calculate income tax correctly at the end of the year.
Comparison: Before vs. Small Business
| Point | Before (VAT liable) | Small Business (Kleinunternehmer) |
|---|---|---|
| VAT advance return | Mandatory Q1–Q4 | Not required |
| Income to tax advisor | Quarterly for VAT + profit calculation | Quarterly only for profit calculation (optional) |
| Bureaucracy | High | Low |
| Taxes | VAT + income tax | Only income tax |
| Input VAT deduction | Yes | No |
