Mandatory details on an invoice
What an invoice in Germany must contain — and how Norman fills it in automatically.
Updated
Mandatory details
A proper invoice includes, among other things:
- Full name and address of you and your customer
- Tax number or VAT ID
- Invoice date and a sequential invoice number
- Quantity and type of the service, plus the service date
- Net amount, tax rate, and tax amount — or a note for tax exemption or the small-business scheme
Small-amount invoices
Up to €250 gross, simplified details apply.
