Difference between main and secondary business?

Hello, I'd like to register a business, but I'm having trouble understanding the difference between a main business and a secondary business if you don't have a main job. As far as I know, you're only allowed to work 20 hours a week with a secondary business, and you have to pay income tax due to hardship compensation if you earn more than €410 a year. Furthermore, you don't have to pay health insurance like you do with a main business.

My questions now are whether this hardship allowance only applies if you already have a main job, and whether you can remain on your parents' health insurance if you register a secondary business. Or are you not allowed to register a secondary business at all if you don't have a main job, since that always has to be a main business.

Industrial law does not know either large or small and no main or secondary industries.

For purely statistical reasons, the trade show asks whether you want to live from the beginning!? There is no legal significance for the cross-reference to the main or secondary acquisition. You don't have to report anything if anything changes.

And in family insurance you can stay as long as you don't earn more than 505,- € monthly.

Hello Joni,

If you quit your old job and start a business, then it's your main business and you have to voluntarily insure yourself or insure yourself privately (more voluntarily by law).

If you keep your old profession and you start a business, it depends on whether you have more income in the profession or in self-employment.

If you have more income in the profession, you remain insured about your employer as before.

On the income tax statement, you give both: income from occupation (plant N) and income from industry (plant G), and for this sum you pay taxes.

Here you can try out how much tax you pay, carry the year sum from profession and business there:

For example, with 13 thousand annual income, it would be only 335 EUR income tax

There is no fiscal "semi-industry" but only income from a commercial enterprise (Appendix G of the Income Tax Declaration).

Read it again!
It says, "The activity (first) is operated in the next generation". There's nothing about "besides." Only then is it asked whether this is a "main location" a "intermediate location" or an immortal "intermediate location". There's no concurrent!

If you want to keep your job (employer/worker with contract) (first), then this is to be declared as a subsidiary ERWERB. And if it is a registration for an independent activity, it is a main office.
