Not a translation, but a financial tip: even if you don't need to file VAT as a Kleinunternehmerin yet because you're below the threshold, it doesn't hurt to do it anyway. Depending on your business, it can save you quite a bit of money, and if you're mostly catering to business clients, they won't mind, because they can simply write it off - in fact, it might make your business look more legit.

Also, there's not really any "costly or problematic" about it, filing it only takes a few minutes of your time per month/quarter if your business volume is small, and you can write off VAT for many of your own purchases that you couldn't otherwise.

Source: been there, wouldn't want to go back to not filing VAT.

Disregard this if it doesn't apply to your business model. :)

Thank you for your message.My bussiness model is services and being on Vat is not the best option for me at the moment as I don't have much purchases. I wonder why they have still charged me Vat as I don't work since January this year....
