Here&#8217;s what you need to know"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b>It\u2019s quite common these days to have a series of different careers throughout your life, developing multiple skill sets or gaining qualifications in a number of different fields as you discover new interests and pursuits. If you\u2019ve got skills, qualifications or experience in more than one profession, or you\u2019ve got a hobby or side-hustle that you plan to monetise, you may not wish to restrict yourself to just one area of expertise in which to generate a freelance income.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve already got full time work, it\u2019s possible to introduce a freelance <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/side-hustle-full-time-job\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">side hustle in addition to your employment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but what if you\u2019re already self-employed? Let\u2019s take a look at what you need to know if you\u2019re considering undertaking a couple of different lines of freelance work while living in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How different is your new line of work to your existing field?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you go any further, it\u2019s important to determine whether your additional line of freelance work actually falls outside of the scope of your existing one. This could be glaringly obvious, such as if you\u2019re self-employed as a business consultant and you want to start teaching yoga on the side. We can\u2019t imagine a way that teaching yoga falls within the scope of business consulting, so business-consultant-yogis, please read on!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, what if you\u2019re registered as a freelance musician, and you wish to begin teaching an instrument in addition to performing or recording? Performing, recording, and teaching can all fall under the scope of what a musician does, and you\u2019re not likely to need to treat teaching as\u00a0 a new line of work. In that case, go forth and teach (and thanks for your contribution to the arts!).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re unsure what does and doesn\u2019t fall under the scope of your existing field of self-employment, the first step is to check how you initially classified your profession when you first registered as a freelancer. You can find this on the letter you received from the Finanzamt with your tax number. Consider how broadly this classification or profession can reasonably be interpreted, and whether your new activity fits within that scope. If you\u2019re still unsure, consult with an accountant or ask the friendly folk at your local Finanzamt. As intimidating as it can be, there\u2019s nothing wrong with asking!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must register in each different field you\u2019re freelancing in<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve indeed got two entirely different services or skills to offer \u2014 first of all, way to go, you multi-skilled, multi-passionate self-starter! We\u2019re impressed. Now it\u2019s time to make sure you\u2019ve got the tax numbers to go with your multiple streams of income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to become a freelancer in any country, you usually need to register with the relevant tax office and receive a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/freelancing-in-germany-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-tax-numbers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">freelance tax number<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or the equivalent tax number in that country. You must do the same in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, while in some other countries, you can perform a number of different professions using the one freelance or business number, in Germany, you must obtain a new freelance number for each field of freelance business that you wish to undertake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you plan to generate an income through teaching English, and you also perform as an opera singer, you need to register both fields of work at the tax office. You\u2019ll obtain two separate tax numbers, one for each line of work. The same goes if you plan to work as a ceramic artist, and you also have a side hustle as a copywriter. For each separate field of work you plan to freelance in, you need to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/fragebogen-zur-steuerlichen-erfassung-germany\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fill out a freelance tax registration form<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So, if you\u2019re already registered as a freelancer in one profession, you already have one freelance tax number, and you just need to register the second one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll need to check whether the line of work you\u2019re in requires you to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/register-freelancer-or-tradesperson\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">register as a freelancer (Freiberufler) or a tradesperson (Gewerbetreibender)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to avoid any headaches further down the track. If in doubt as to which classification you fall under, check with your local Finanzamt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(If we\u2019ve already lost you with all the German terms, make sure to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/the-glossary-of-all-the-words-you-need-to-know-as-a-freelancer-in-germany\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bookmark this glossary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invoicing for two different fields of freelance work<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to invoicing, you do need to differentiate between the two (or more) lines of freelance work. For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re a freelance software developer who also works as a photographer. When you invoice a client for a photography shoot, you\u2019ll use your tax number associated with your self-employment as a photographer. The same day, you may need to invoice a startup you\u2019re building a new SaaS product for \u2014 you\u2019ll use the tax number that\u2019s associated with your work as a developer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udca1Tip from Accountable:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make sure to include all the necessary information to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/how-to-create-the-perfect-invoice-in-germany\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">create a legally compliant invoice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will it affect your VAT and income tax?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The subject of taxes is a lot more involved for self-employed people in Germany than it is for those who are employed by a company. Adding another line of freelance work to the mix can make things more confusing, but it\u2019s definitely manageable.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VAT\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Value Added Tax (VAT) is a sales tax applied to every product sold or service provided. As a freelancer, your products or services are subject to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/the-difference-between-vorsteuer-umsatzsteuer-and-mehrwertsteuer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VAT, or Umsatzsteuer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which you must charge your clients and then pay on to the state. This tax is usually calculated at 19% or 7%, depending on the service you provide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The small business owner rule<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an exception in German tax law that exempts some freelancers from paying sales tax: the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/when-is-a-freelancer-a-kleinunternehmer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small business regulation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can apply for this directly when you register your freelance work or found your company. When determining whether your new freelance activity might qualify for this VAT exemption, you must consider your total combined income \u2014 that is, the total gross income generated from employment and any self-employment activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your combined income is above 22,000\u20ac in the first year, then you do not qualify to apply for the small business exemption. So, even if you have just started a second freelance business as a stylist and you\u2019re only making 5,000\u20ac per year from these services, you must charge VAT, submit a VAT return, and pay VAT to the state. However, this also means that you can claim VAT expenses, such as new photography equipment, or studio space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udca1Tip from Accountable:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Check what expenses you can claim against your taxes with our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kannichdasabsetzen.accountable.de\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">expenses calculator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Income taxes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may seem a little odd, but you can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to income taxes for multiple fields of freelance work. While you do need to have a separate tax number for any additional freelance professions, you don\u2019t need to file separate income tax returns for each of those tax numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s still important to keep your own bookkeeping organised and to be able to show how much income you generated for any one line of work, you\u2019ll just file the one income tax return each year, and receive one tax statement (Bescheid) outlining any further tax owed or credited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any income tax advance payments will also just be in single sums for all of your activities, rather than one for each type of work. If you\u2019re required to make advanced payments, make sure to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/interstellar.accountable.de\/en\/blog\/freelancing-in-germany-put-these-dates-in-your-calendar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep the deadlines in your calendar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to avoid any avoidable fees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too much to take in?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things can often feel more complicated than they are, especially if you\u2019re already balancing two identities as a filmmaker-slash-web-developer.
