Serving foreign customers?

I know a self-employed web designer who lives and runs a business in Germany. He's originally from Poland.

He only accepts German clients on a contract basis or completes their work (website, etc.) on account. He provides legal support to these clients and observes tax regulations.

He's happy to accept customers from Poland, but he does it tax-free/under the table there. He doesn't want any invoices, contracts, or anything similar from Polish customers and has the money paid out privately to his Revolut account.

Do you think this approach is correct?

German customers therefore have to pay him taxes (net prices) and Polish customers do not have to do this.

I find this unfair to German customers.

What do you all mean ?

Hello!

Unfortunately, there is always a danger everywhere. I think it is fair for German customers, as they obviously have to take account of the expenditure tax. An issue should always have an invoice, otherwise it is a private edition and not to be assigned to the company.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide any information for the part in Poland, but I assume that you also need an invoice there to count it as an operating edition.

From Polish customers he does not want an invoice

Logic

From customers there is never invoice

Do you think this procedure is correct?

Of course not, is clear tax evasion

German customers therefore have to pay him taxes (net prices )

Of course, the German customers don’t pay net but also the sales tax

Find that unfair to German customers.

Why should it be unfair to the German customers, they will be billed correctly.

Injustice to us all and the state are the wrongly calculated invoices without taxes

Commercial registration in Germany – Taxes are deducted here. Whether customers are from Germany, Poland, Uganda or Mars.

It’s just tax evasion.

In any case, he cheats on the tax office

Clear scam. And the tax advisor is also deceived for her fee.

He’s not cheating on the tax office. He’s cheating on us all.

That’s enough for the police

Phone number is clear enough

It would, of course, be good if you had any proof of your claim.

Does he do that regularly with Poland?

The tax system is of course very interested in such perpetrators

You don’t know if he has a tax advisor or if he has a business in Germany?

As a web designer, he has a website
