Overview of construction sites in Germany

The overview lists every project you worked on, including the basic details such as the location and the period of the work. It is a key document that the German authorities use to check that the Freistellung was used correctly.

For 2025 the overview has to be prepared and sent by the set deadline. If you fail to do so, you may receive a so-called “Erinnerung” (an official reminder), which can lead to needless complications or to problems when renewing your Freistellung.

We will gladly help you prepare and process the overview. We make sure the document is drawn up correctly, clearly and in line with the current requirements of the German authorities, saving you time and keeping the risk of mistakes down.

Frequently asked questions

The duty applies to every business that carried out construction work in Germany and used the exemption from the withholding tax (Freistellung).

The overview lists every job carried out, the site, the period of the work, the business partner (the client) and the amounts invoiced.

The overview has to be submitted for each calendar year by the set deadline. We recommend preparing and sending it as early as possible, to avoid reminders from the German tax office.

If you fail to submit it you may receive an official reminder (Erinnerung), or run into complications when renewing your Freistellung.

Even then you have to meet your duty towards the German tax office. If you carried out one job, you list it in the overview. If you carried out no work at all, it is advisable to report that, so as to avoid needless questions or reminders.
