Freistellung - Renewal
If you work in construction in Germany, the Freistellung (exemption from the construction withholding tax) is an essential document that lets you invoice without 15% being withheld.
Why does the Freistellung matter?
Once your original Freistellung expires, you have to pay 15 % of every further invoice to the German tax office. Importantly, the €5,000 limit including VAT is counted as the sum of all your invoices to one client, not just a single one.
How do we help?
Filing the Freistellung application – we handle all the formalities for you.
Communication with the German tax office – we make sure approval is fast and trouble-free.
What we recommend:
We recommend applying for the renewal well in advance (at the latest two months before the original document expires), so that your exemption from the construction withholding tax is not interrupted.
