Wat een klein bedrijf met personeel moet indienen in Duitsland in 2026

Dit profiel gaat uit van een klein bedrijf (minder dan 50 medewerkers, tot € 10 miljoen omzet) dat al personeel in dienst heeft, en omvat daarom verplichtingen op het gebied van loonadministratie en de werkplek naast de gebruikelijke belasting- en rapportagekalender. Het omvat ook EU-brede regelgeving, zoals NIS2 of de AI-verordening, die van toepassing wordt zodra een bedrijf deze omvang bereikt of in een gereguleerde sector actief is. Wijkt uw personeelsbestand of omzet af, of heeft u helemaal geen personeel, dan sluit een ander profiel beter aan.

Deze pagina gaat uit van een specifiek startprofiel: klein bedrijf met personeel, in Duitsland. Het is een startpunt, geen advies op maat - uw werkelijke verplichtingen hangen af van uw exacte sector, omzet en manier van werken.

Corporations (GmbH, UG (haftungsbeschränkt), and GmbH & Co. KG) must file their annual financial statements for disclosure via the Unternehmensregister/Bundesanzeiger within 12 months of their balance-sheet date (§325 Abs. 1a HGB); for a calendar-year company that means by 31 December of the following year.

The statutory minimum wage rises again on 1 January 2027, to €14.60 gross per hour, the second step confirmed by the same Fünfte Mindestlohnanpassungsverordnung (MiLoV5), published in the Bundesgesetzblatt on 2025-11-07. Unlike some earlier cycles, both the 2026 and 2027 steps are already fixed by regulation, not merely proposed.
