Wat een zelfstandig accountant moet indienen in Duitsland in 2026
Dit profiel gaat uit van een zelfstandig professional die boekhoud- of accountancydiensten verleent, zonder personeel, en richt zich daarom op de belasting- en rapportagekalender die geldt voor zelfstandigen en kleine dienstverleners, plus eventuele antiwitwasverplichtingen die specifiek voor accountants gelden. Verplichtingen die aan het in dienst hebben van personeel of aan andere sectoren zijn gekoppeld, blijven buiten beschouwing. Voert u uw praktijk via een vennootschap, of heeft u ook personeel in dienst, raadpleeg dan in plaats daarvan de bedrijfsprofielen.
