What happens if you exceed the small business limit?
In Germany, the revenue limit for the small business regulation (Kleinunternehmerregelung) in the current calendar year is €25,000 (and €100,000 in the following year). If you exceed this limit, you will be subject to regular taxation in the following year. This means you must show VAT on your invoices and submit regular preliminary VAT returns. To avoid this, it is important to closely monitor your monthly revenue. Use this calculator to identify early on whether you are reaching the limit and plan accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens strictly when I cross the limit?
In most European countries, crossing the simplified regime threshold means you lose your VAT exemption status. You typically must register for a VAT number within a specified timeframe (sometimes immediately), start charging VAT to your clients, and file regular VAT returns.
Can I transition back to the simplified regime?
Yes, but conditions apply. If your revenues fall below the threshold in the following calendar year, many countries allow you to revert to the simplified regime at the start of the next fiscal year, but you usually must manually request this change from your local tax office.
