If you're not registered for VAT (USt)
You usually have to register once your sales pass €55,000 of turnover a year (Kleinunternehmer rule).
- Small businesses (Kleinunternehmer) with turnover up to €55,000 a year don't charge VAT.
- Add a note such as "Umsatzsteuerfrei aufgrund der Kleinunternehmerregelung". Our generator adds it.
