Den här profilen utgår från ett litet företag (färre än 50 anställda, högst 10 miljoner euro i omsättning) som redan har anställda, och omfattar därför skyldigheter kopplade till lön och arbetsplats vid sidan av den vanliga skatte- och rapporteringskalendern. Den tar också upp EU-omfattande regler, som NIS2 eller AI-förordningen, som gäller när ett företag når den här storleken eller verkar inom en berörd bransch. Om ditt antal anställda eller din omsättning skiljer sig, eller om du inte har några anställda alls, passar en annan profil bättre.
Den här sidan utgår från en specifik startprofil: litet företag med anställda, i Tyskland. Det är en utgångspunkt, inte skräddarsydd rådgivning - dina faktiska skyldigheter beror på din exakta bransch, omsättning och hur du driver verksamheten.
