Starting off as a Freelancer in Germany: Registration, Tax Duties etc.

Thinking of going freelance or starting a business in Germany?
In this session, you’ll get practical insights into the first steps you need to take — including how to apply for a tax number, register with relevant authorities (like pension insurance), and understand the types of taxes that may apply to you. 💪

We’ll also cover:

• The small business regulation (Kleinunternehmerregelung)
• How to write a correct invoice
• And explore support options like the Gründungszuschuss and other federal/state funding opportunities 🚀

Join us to get your questions answered and feel more confident navigating the German system as a future founder or freelancer!

These events are organised by start-up initiative SMILE at Leipzig University, co-financed by the European Union and the Free State of Saxony.
