The EÜR: income minus expenses
Most Freiberufler and small businesses in Germany do not need double-entry accounting: they file an Einnahmenüberschussrechnung (Anlage EÜR) with their income tax return through ELSTER, which is operating income minus operating expenses for the year, counted when the money moves. That is the same cash-based logic Intaj Books uses. Whether you qualify, and how to fill in the form, is a question for the Finanzamt or your Steuerberater.
Keep every Beleg
German tax rules expect a receipt for every entry (keine Buchung ohne Beleg) and make you responsible for storing them for years. Attach the photo or PDF to each expense here; at the end of the year the print page shows which entries have one. Small businesses under the Kleinunternehmerregelung do not charge Umsatzsteuer, but they keep these records too.
Questions
Does it fill in the Anlage EÜR?
No. It gives you the yearly totals by category to copy into ELSTER or to hand to your Steuerberater.
Can I record Umsatzsteuer separately?
Not as a separate field. Write the amount you actually paid or received; if you are registered for Umsatzsteuer, keep those records in software made for it.
Where is my data stored?
Only in this browser on this device. There is no account and no server copy. Download the CSV regularly to keep a copy.
