Craftsman wants to be paid without an invoice?

One year after the work was completed, a tradesman is demanding the remaining €500 from me. I had already agreed to pay it as soon as I received the invoice. I never received the invoice, and therefore I didn't pay the €500.

Now, after a year, he desperately wants the €500, but can no longer invoice me.

How would you proceed?

Each entrepreneur (professor) is obliged to issue invoices in accordance with the requirements set out in §§ 14,14a UStG if he provides a domestically controllable service to another entrepreneur for his company or to a legal person.

So your craftsman has to give you the bill, otherwise the suspicion of black work/tax evasion is in the room.

More likely, GF is a consumer and not an entrepreneur or legal person. In addition, the account must be taken of who makes what is on land. Depending on what the craftsman did, you could take this.

But the company doesn’t exist anymore.

Well, then, the craftsman didn’t let it run over his books, that’s tax evasion and black work.

I’d say, no bill, no money!

Easy. No bill, no money. Finally, the invoice is also important for your documents if a defect will be noticed later or if you can assert it in the tax return. And if he wants it, he can issue the bill at any time.

He did the service, so you have to pay.

However, with invoice !

Go to the lawyer.

If the business owner doesn’t want to issue an invoice to me, I have to assume that he is a fraud because he wants to suppress VAT.

Why would the questioner become a lawyer? He has no (financial claim).

The company is no longer available.

There’s no money without bill.

Otherwise, you are guilty of black work.

If his company no longer exists and can no longer issue an invoice, he did not book the sum in his books at that time.

Don’t pay, he has to make an invoice.

That his craftsmanship no longer exists is a very important note. For who else is the money to go to? Private to him? That would be something of an obvious black worker pay.

Don’t pay.

Cash payment does not mean availability as a craftsmanship in the tax return and smells disgusting after black work.

It wouldn’t be possible.

I’d pay the 500. Ready.

There is no entitlement to payment without invoice.

Will he be paid cash?

Don’t pay!

Tell him to go to his knees.

Why can’t he issue an invoice?

That’s why he can still issue a (backed) invoice. This is no problem at all

Nice excuse! So you’re supposed to support his black work! I wouldn’t. There is no money without invoice.
